3. Stoke beat Tottenham

Stoke are fighting to stay in the Premier League. They’re three points from safety with only six games to play. They also face a difficult match against Tottenham at the Bet365 Stadium this weekend.

The Potters have looked better under Paul Lambert, but he might not be able to do enough, in the limited amount of matches he has left, to keep them up.

Last weekend, they performed admirably against Arsenal and were perhaps unfortunate to go 1-0 down after a dubious penalty was awarded to the Gunners. However, Stoke are past the point of pride and what they need now is wins.

A match against Spurs is hardly what a manager wants to see after facing a trip to the Emirates but Paul Lambert has to work out a way to get points from this match.

Tottenham confidently beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last weekend and Harry Kane even saw some game time, making a speedy come back from the injury he sustained at Bournemouth.

When Kane and Dele Alli are on form, Mauricio Pochettino’s side are hard to stop. This week, Pochettino will get a shock as his side lose to a Stoke team that are desperate to remain in the Premier League.
