Form: Stoke DDLLL Spurs WLWWW (All Competitions)

Stoke has alternated between a victory followed by two defeats in home EPL games against us - they have lost their last two games against us. We have won our last four EPL games against Stoke by a four goal margin - a top flight record. We actually have won our last two away at Stoke by a 4-0 score line - only one team has ever won three consecutive top flight away games against another by at least a four-goal margin, with Chelsea doing so against Bolton between 2009 and 2011.

No side has won more EPL away games at Bet365 Stadium than us - 6, level with Chelsea. We are on the longest current unbeaten run in the EPL (13 - W10 D3) and is the only side yet to lose in 2018 in the EPL. Stoke has shipped 61 EPL goals this season - the most in the division and the most they've ever conceded in a single campaign since promotion in 2008.

This is our 4th game in a row that has been away in all competitions, with a different player scoring a brace in each of the previous three (Son vs Bournemouth, Eriksen vs Swansea and Dele vs Chelsea). Peter Crouch has scored 12 EPL goals against sides he has previously played for in all competition, only Nicolas Anelka has more - 18. However he has yet to score in 8 games against us since leaving in 2011. Paul Lambert has lost all four of his EPL home games against us, once with Norwich and three with Aston Villa.

Kane has scored in each of his last four EPL games against Stoke, netting 8 goals in total.

Was going to post how important a day this is with some big games but Bullet's post puts everything in to perspective. Football is not that important. Hope all goes well today Bullet.

I don't really like Stoke. It's irrational, because it's not based on a long history like Arsenal or objective reasons, like Chelsea. No matter, I just really don't like Stoke.
