  5. 'We want to try to win'published at 14:41

    Stoke v Watford (15:00 BST)

    Now then. Watford have not won in their last three games, and lost two of those.

    Their manager Quique Sanchez Flores, with arguably the best groomed facial hair in the Premier League, knows it'll be a wee bit tricky to end that barren run at the Britannia Stadium.

    "We know that in past years Stoke were playing a different style, really direct, long ball but with Mark Hughes it changed a little bit and they try to play the ball on the floor. They are in the middle now.

    "Of course they have great morale and it is very difficult team, a difficult stadium but we want to be positive.

    "We won in a very important stadium like Newcastle as well and we want to try to win - why not?"

    Glad he wants his team to go for the victory - I don't fancy their chances.

  8. Happy 100 for Hughes?published at 14:30

    Stoke v Watford (15:00 BST)

    Move over Watford- previously considered the Premier League team that was "hard to beat" -Stokeare back to reclaim their title.

    Having waited seven games to record their first league win, the Potters have managed to notch three on the bounce, conceding just one goal.

    Their managerMark Hugheswill obviously be hoping to celebrate his 100th game in charge of the club with a fourth victory.

    "I do think the fact it is 100 games is good as it means I have lasted a little bit longer than I did in my last job," said the Welshman

    "Long may it continue."

    There's no reason why it shouldn't.
