Stoke City are heading away from home to West Brom looking for their first away victory of the campaign. They couldn't have found a better place to do it than the Hawthorns especially having a striker hot in form such as James Beattie.

Stoke have improved in recent times picking up 8 points from 5 games, including a vital 3 pointer against Boro. They form of West Brom has been horrible grabbing only 2 points from their last 5 games, and with taking on Stoke City, this is a big 6 pointer game.

A loss today will virtually seal West Brom's fate for this campaign, even though they could make it, but there won't be any chance with a tough lineup of fixtures still remaining.

Rory Delap's bullet throws could be a turning point for Stoke City as West Brom have shown time and time again that they have been horrible at the set pieces.

One goal may be enough for Stoke to settle this game, and I expect a thriller of a game at the Hawthorns.
