  • Sunderland Win.

  • Away goal

  • Stoke going for a surprise here, still on boxing days.

  • @PunterBloke Stoke will certainly be more direct under Ryan Shawcross. Either they couldn't grasp Poundland Pep's tactics, they couldn't implement them or both.

  • Sunderland Win

  • Mark Robins or Steve Cooper favourites to take over.

  • @Marbella I'd take Robins to keep Stoke up and I'll still go for Double Chance- Sunderland or a Draw in this match with Ryan Shawcross as the Caretaker for the Potters.

  • Stoke manager Narcis Pelach has just been sacked after just 3 months.

  • @Marbella It was inevitable, the poor guy was way out of his depth, :(

  • Draw

  • Well, what do I know---? :(

  • Sinking fast and soon to be in a relegation battle if Poundland Pep stays, Stoke simply have to Win here. I'm going for Double Chance- Sunderland or a Draw.
