Tottenham vs Stoke

Probable starting eleven:Tottenham:Lloris; Naughton, Dawson, Chiriches, Rose; Chadli, Paulinho, Eriksen, Sigurdsson; Adebayor, SoldadoStoke:Sorensen; Cameron, Shawcross, Muniesa, Pieters; Walters, N’Zonzi, Assaidi, Arnautovic; Adam; CrouchI see a possible surprise here. There are three reasons for my pick. Here are they:1. Tottenham played very bad at home. They have no win on the last four matches at White Hart Lane, losing two of them. Here are the results:26.12.2013. Tottenham – West Bromwich 1:115.12.2013. Tottenham – Liverpool 0:501.12.2013. Tottenham – Manchester United 2:210.11.2013. Tottenham – Newcastle Utd 0:1The former manager Andre Villas-Boas has already paid the prize and was fired. Tim Sherwood replaced him, but I don’t expect something spectacular from him.2. Sherwood has lot of injury worries. Younes Kaboul, Sandro, Andros Townsend, Aaron Lennon, Kane and Jan Vertonghen are definitely out, while Mousa Dembele is rated as doubtful. Kyle Walker is suspended. This is another reasons for my pick.3. Stoke have some positive results against top teams. They managed to beat Chelsea with 3:2 this month (07.12.2013). Stoke also managed to get draw against Manchester City playing a goalless draw (14.09.2013). They are an interesting team able to make surprise.
