Will Stoke still be in the top seats when the music stops?

A little bit of consistency now would surely see the Potters in the Premiership for next season. A much anticipated home match with Bristol City will be very tight in front of the TV cameras (not again!) and is followed by 2 easier (on paper) clashes away at relegated Colchester and at home to threatened Leicester.

The run in for the other sides at the top appears tougher and they should be in danger of dropping more points than Stoke. The main concern at the moment is the game-in-hand held by both WBA and Hull.  Tomorrow night things will be clearer after they have both faced tricky away matches at Wolves and Barnsley respectively.

In short, can Stoke do it?  The odds are stacked in their favour.
But, will Stoke do it?  Who knows, in this League anything can happen.
