Stoke City v Tottenham Hotspur: match preview

By kick-off at the Britannia on Monday evening, Tottenham could be 10 points behind Leicester with five games to play. They should, however, have enough to beat Stoke, who remain saddled with selection problems in defence and have won only once in their last five outings. Jakob Haugaard has been unconvincing in goal so Stoke’s Irish veteran Shay Given could be brought in. Alan Smith
