My tip: Win for Stoke

This is the only meeting of the 18th round of the English premier League which will take place on the Monday evening in Brittani Stadion, where two rather balanced teams, Stoke city centre and Aston villa will meet. The hosts have five points more on the account before this meeting and cover the eighth position in the league while their rivals are staying after two defeats in consequence on the 12th position in the league from Birmingham. In the previous duels of these teams the hosts have only seldom passed points on to its opponents in which the fact is interesting that the goal scorers were not particularly cheerful. The beginning: 26.12.2011 - 20:45

Of course this is not surprising one 3:0 as them if one considers that Stoke city centre has one of the best defence rows in the league for some seasons although they have not justified this in last round have collected outwards defeat against Manchester city centre. One must take into account that they have brought in this defeat against the current table leader, though. In addition, coach has carried out some changes in the start formation since they had a really heavy meeting with Wolverhampton hiker in front of this in the distance. In this duel they celebrated a 2:1 victory. This was their fourth victory in consequence and it was that way to expect a bad game somehow. Coach Pulis probably came to the conclusion that he stadium would have and therefore he has spared some of his dominant players against Aston villa before this much more important duel hardly a chance in this East country also with his strongest crew. The go-getter Crouch, the midfield players Whelan and Etherington as well as the defender Shawcross shall return into the team this time. Shotton shall proceed on the position of the right outer player because Woodgate has hurt itself in the meantime the young. The injured defending players Williamson and Collins fall already longer while the experienced midfield player Delap at present is apart from form and therefore is represented by Whitehead.

Expected list Stoke: Sorensen - Shotton, Shawcross, Huth, Wilson - Whelan, Whitehead, Pennant, Etherington - Walters - Crouch

Exactly like Stoke city centre, Aston villa also collected a defeat the last day but the coach of arsenal has thought after this game that his boys came to this victory with good luck. Benayoun has shot its team for the 2:1 victory namely three minutes before the game end and annulled all best through this Aston villa has done in this meeting primarily in the defence, where they have stopped very dangerous opposing attackers cited of the top scorer Van Persia perfectly. It met also in this meeting though of the penalty kick line. Albrighton shot in compensation later. As said, Aston villa was not lucky and the second defeat collected in consequence, through what this team got in the lower table part has again, namely on the 12th place. The team from Birmingham too many have cost draws of a better placing actually, even sift. They are on the place one in the league in this category while they had the same number of defeats and victories until recently. They are according to a series of the difficult games in a negative trend. Therefore they need a good result against Stoke city centre now and in this case this would be a draw. It has to be expected coach McLeish to want to appear with his unmistakable defensive style again. In this meeting McLeish must do without its two tribe go-getters, Bent and Heskey and Agbonlahor will proceed alone in the attack so. The injured midfield player of Jena and the goalkeeper Given still will be cancelled while the defender Hutton is closed for this game.

Expected list Aston villa: Guzan - Clark, Dunne, Collin's, Warnock, Petrov, Delph, Albrighton, Bannan, N, ' Zogbia - Agbonlahor

After both teams collected defeats the last day we think that will be the primary objective for the two coaches to keep the goal of one's own clean and to come to a point at least. Lists confirm this to very well so that this tip is very realistic on a goal poor game the rather defensive.
