Stoke City v Wolverhampton Wanderers: Potters tipped to pile the misery on Wolves
Wolves start the day seven points adrift of safety with seven games left to play. Most people looking at that statistic would feel that Wolves have an outside chance of beating the drop. Unfortunately, if you've seen them play in recent weeks, and realise that they've only picked up one point from a possible 21, then you would come to the fair conclusion that Wolves are already down.
Today they travel to their Staffordshire rivals Stoke City and the Potters would love nothing more than to put another nail in the coffin of Wolves. Stoke have won their past three meetings with Wolves and you have to go back seven years for the last time Wolves left the Britannia with all three points.
It has been a strange sort of season for Tony Pulis's side. They have only won two of their past 10 league outings but they have enjoyed their European adventure. A place in the top half is now the goal for the Potters and a win over Wolves should get them there.
Wolves know that time is running out on their stay in the Premier League and they must beat Stoke to have any hope of beating the drop. Unfortunately, the majority of the panel is going for a home win.
Stoke City v Wolverhampton Wanderers; Kick Off 5.30pm April 7 2012
