Stoke City vs Preston North End

I am betting Stoke City here -0.25, they have had a break of 4 days since defeat to Derby which is fine for recovery but importantly also face a Preston side who have not played since the 11th of December, when they scrapped by a desperate Barnsley team. Stoke are still without Sawyer and Souttar but they have been out for a number of weeks at this stage and their absence has been factored into my ratings. I have clear value on Stoke and despite losing to Derby in their latest match i think they offer excellent value and should be backed against a Preston side who have not played in over 3 weeks which is a sizeable negative for me.
