match preview
Stoke City v Newcastle United
theguardian
Alan Pardew will be hoping that the extra recovery time afforded by a Monday night fixture will aid his sickly trio of Papiss Cissé, Yoan Gouffran and Tim Krul. Cissés two goals against Hull last Saturday may have saved the Newcastle managers job at least for now but Pardew might have been under a lot less pressure if the Senegal striker had contributed more than 21 minutes of playing time so far this season. Stoke, usually so solid at the Britannia Stadium, have lost both their home league games and could be vulnerable. Rich Flower
