Manchester City have a chance to regain the second spot in the Premier League table when they host Stoke City on Wednesday night.
With the 2-0 drubbing of Sunderland, the Citizens picked up their fourth league win on the bounce. Also, the win has extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to 9 matches, with 5 of them coming in the Premier League.
The home fixture against Stoke starts a decisive point for Pep Guardiola in his first season as Manchester City coach. The Spaniard will travel to the Riverside on the weekend for the FA Cup tie against Middlesbrough, then to Monaco for the Champions League tie. This is then followed by three difficult league fixtures against Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea.
Stoke City managed to bounce back from the 4-0 loss at Tottenham with a 2-0 home win against Middlesbrough. They remain largely inconsistent after having won just twice in the last six matches. Moreover, they lost in 5 of their last 6 away games conceding 17 goals during the period.
The Potters have the worst away record in the league against teams in the top 6 of the league table. They conceded 4 goals in their trips to Tottenham, Chelsea and Liverpool and 3 at Arsenal.
Manchester City vs Stoke: Head-to-head
Stoke lost 4-1 at home in the corresponding reverse fixture of the current campaign. It was the third time in space of four matches that City put 4 goals past Stoke, 2 of those at the Britannia and one in their latest meeting at the Etihad.
Manchester City have won in 6 of their last 7 home matches against Stoke. But the Potters earned an surprise 1-0 win in their visit here two seasons ago. That is the only time they have managed to score in the last 7 visits to the Etihad stadium.
Manchester City vs Stoke: Prediction
The form and momentum is with the Citizens and they look unbeatable at the moment, especially in front of their home fans. The Potters had so far struggled to put up a decent fight against top teams in the league. So, this is point to end in another big City win.
