Stoke were good against Arsenal, they probably deserved to get something out of that game, but there again that is their problem; putting the ball in the net when the chance arises.
Tottenham have probably the best recent record against Stoke home and away than any other team in the league, scoring a load of goals in the process. However, Stoke are fighting for their lives and surely will make a better fist of it today. Yes, I fancy Spurs to get the W, but it may be by the odd goal today. Saying that, my prediction;

Stoke 1 Tottenham 3

Eriksen has been so much greedier than usual today. That screamer against Chelsea must have given him too much of an ego boost.

Couldn't help but expect this to be "after the Lord Mayor's show", but Erikson still managed to write the headlines, he is a class act. As forecast, Stoke gave Tottenham a much sterner examination this time around, but tbh I am very happy with my team's response, not for the first time they dug it out against determined opposition. COYS.

I'm worried Kane and Eriksen might fall out over this goal.

Why thankya for your concern Benji! Eriksen is such a laid back dude, he has already said he'll take a goal and an assist from that game. I think there is zero chance they will fall out about it, I always get the sense the team spirit is pretty good at Tottenham.

One of the tragic issues with modern society is that men often struggle to speak honestly about their emotions. I just hope Eriksen isn't bottling up negative energy that may affect his game. I think perhaps we would all be happier if Christian publicly denounced Harry Kane's selfish and weirdly obsessive behaviour.

So a PL striker on the hunt for the Golden Boot is "selfish and weirdly obsessive"? I suspect being selfish and weirdly obsessive is an absolute personality trait requirement if you are going to make it as a top striker! I take it you didn't see MOTD? Eriksen looked as bothered about the goal as he might be about the price of tea in China. For the record I cant see that it was Kane's goal, what did the ball do? Brush a loose thread on his shoulder? However, I can see beyond that, Kane is wanting top scorer in the PL, and as Eriksen knows if he gets it, it will only benefit the team.

Damn, Kane scores even when Tottenham aren't playing! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43731208
