Stoke have perked up under Mark Robins and have won 3 of their last 4 home games and are unbeaten in 5 at the Bet365 Stadium

The Potters can extinguish any lingering relegation fears with another home win against Sheffield United.

Stoke’s need for points is far greater than Sheffield United’s.

The Blades are guaranteed to finish 3rd and already have their ticket to the play off lottery. A late stumble (3 defeats in their last 4 matches) has cost them and they may find it hard to motivate themselves here.

Player to be Carded:

Ben Pearson (11/10), Hamza Choudhury (11/4), Wouter Burger (7/2), Junior Tchamadeu (7/2), Kieffer Moore (11/2)

SUMMARY

10 bets advised – £80 Staked. Full Update coming post match

Well the theory that Sheffield United may not be up for this one was blown out the water as they put in an assured performance and deservedly took the 3 points.

Not great on the tips tonight – Ben Pearson got his customary yellow card, Kieffer Moore put himself around and committed 4 fouls and the corners bet squeaked home.

We were a bit unlucky not to see a yellow card for Burger (3 fouls, with a very nasty over the ball challenge on Brewster) and Moore (4 fouls, including a swinging arm that on another day would have been punished)

But excuses don’t pay the bills and with a 30% strike-rate % we post a loss of £24.50
