Stoke v Everton: Preview and Predictions

The sensible money probably stays in one’s pocket as far as this fixture is concerned, but we’re still tempted by the draw at 7/3.

          Everton’s bettering of Tottenham this weekend was largely overlooked in light of Manchester United’s victory of the weekend, but in the grand scheme of things it’s likely to be looked back on as one of the biggest victories of the season – especially if it means Everton are able to finish in the top four, their current ambition.  With this huge victory for Everton in mind, you can be forgiven for favouring them over Stoke this weekend.

          We’re tipping a draw at 7/3 this weekend, which seems like an obvious result at first glance, in spite of Everton’s current league position.  Everton have had some poor results away from home, notably in their recent loss to Reading, and Stoke is a notoriously tricky place to visit for Premier League teams.  The Potters have yet to have lost a league game at home this season – the last time they did lose a home fixture was in February.

          Expect a close game decided by a slender margin, if at all.
