Premier League: Stoke vs Everton preview

Everton are looking to capture their fourth consecutive Premier League win, but they face a tough travel on Wednesday as they visit Stoke City at the Bet365 Stadium. The Toffees won the reverse fixture 1-0 earlier this season, and they did win 3-0 at the Britannia Stadium last campaign. Before that result, the Toffees had not won at Stoke since 2008. Stoke City are unbeaten in the last three Premier League matches and they got to rest last weekend as they had already exited the FA Cup earlier. The Potters are unbeaten in their last five home matches in the league, and they were able to hold in-form Manchester United to a draw here last time out. Mame Biram Diouf and Wilfried Bony are still unavailable as they have just returned from the Africa Cup of Nations, while Ramadan Sobhi is still away on international duty. Everton have won their last three Premier League matches and have kept a clean sheet throughout that streak, but their FA Cup run ended in mid-January as they got beaten at home by Leicester. Their only chance to achieve European football for next season is to finish inside the Premier League top five or at least top six, and now they are seventh and five points behind Manchester United in sixth. Idrissa Gueye is back from international duty but will probably be rested for the weekend match. Probable line-ups: Stoke: Grant - Johnson, Indi, Shawcross, Pieters - Adam, Whelan - Shaqiri, Allen, Arnautovic - Crouch Everton: Robles - Holgate, Williams, Mori - Coleman, Davies, Barry, Barkley, Baines - Lukaku, Mirallas My prediction: 1-1 draw. Here are the odds for the match at Bet365: Stoke win - 2.88 Draw - 3.40 Everton win - 2.63
