Analysis Stoke
Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches. In the last 20 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 9 of their 25 goals between minutes (46'‑60').
Stoke comes for this journey after an away home draw, by 1-1, against Middlesbrough: Shaqiri, after 67 minutes scored the goal that allowed Stoke to win a point. The home team usually acts in a tactical system in 4-3-3, favoring quick transitions, especially through the flanks. One of the strengths of home team is how they can realize the direct free. Note that Stoke presents many difficulties in finishing the opportunities that can create. The coach of Stoke won’t count on Afellay and Ireland because they’re injured.
Confirmed Lineup: Shay Given, Philipp Wollscheid, Erik Pieters, Phil Bardsley, Ryan Shawcross, Giannelli Imbula, Glenn Whelan, Joe Allen, Marko Arnautović, Bojan Krkić, Mame Biram Diouf.
Analysis Man City
Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have only turned the score around in 1.
Manchester City comes very motivated for this journey after an away home triumph by 0-5, against Steaua, counting for the playoffs of the Champions League: Silva, Aguero and Nolito scored the goals of victory. Like the "enemy" of this round, Manchester usually acts in a 4-3-3 where the three responsible players for releasing the panic in the opponent’s defense are Sterling, Aguero and Nolito. So, even acting away home, it’s foreseeable that Manchester City will adopt a more offensive strategy, taking into account that presents more individual and collective quality. For this match the visiting team’s coach should have all the players available.
Confirmed Lineup: Willy Caballero, Aleksandar Kolarov, Nicolás Otamendi, John Stones, Pablo Zabaleta, Kevin De Bruyne, Navas, David Silva, Fernandinho, Raheem Sterling, Sergio Agüero.
Coach: J. Guardiola i Sala.
