    We have seen some fine counter-attacking today and Stoke put together another one to go so close to number two. Bournemouth have a corner which is cleared. Marko Arnautovic plays a one-two spanning 30 yards and on teh stretch pokes his shot just wide!

    Man Utd 0-0 Sunderland

    Lee Cattermole has been busy already this afternoon and he is a big reason why United can find no way through. No Sunderland player has won the ball back more than him this afternoon, with Cattermole making three tackles (green triangles), three interceptions (blue) and winning possession on six other occaasions (orange). 

    He's also blocked three shots (yellow) to complete an all-action first 45 minutes, mostly spent in his own half.

    "Under Mark Hughes they are trying to pass the ball now, but Stoke have really got to win this game, especially with Bournemouth losing Callum Wilson. There's a pressure growing on all managers now, you have to get results."
