– Pep Guardiola, Manchester City.
Contributor’s Pick
According to Head-2-Head statistics, Manchester City have won three and lost two of their last six matches against Stoke City. Stoke City have seen less than 2.5 goals in nine of their last ten home matches against Manchester City in all competitions and this is expected to be a low-scoring game.
With Pep Guardiola likely to select the same starting eleven as last match, Manchester City are expected to win 1-0.
