The wind could cause havoc at the Britannia today, so it might be wise to wear all of these scarves at once if you're in the area.

Not sure about the claim that Santa is a Potter, mind.

Here's how the top six looks at lunchtime today. Any one of four sides could be top of the pile come tea time - Man City will hope it is them.

Stoke, meanwhile, have been as steady as an Eddie on a Segway. They're lodged in 12th place, having lost just two of their last nine league games.

David Silva makes his first Premier League start since the 6-1 win over Newcastle United on 3 October.

And Joe Hart returns after a hamstring problem.

Man City have plenty of injury problems, with Sergio Aguero, Yaya Toure, Vincent Kompany, Pablo Zabaleta and Samr Nasri out, while Eliaquim Mangala is injured.

So Wilfried Bony and Fernando are also drafted in from last week's win over Southampton.

Man City XI: Hart, Sagna, Otamendi, Demichelis, Kolarov, De Bruyne, Fernando, Fernandinho, Silva, Sterling, Bony

Subs: Caballero, Navas, Kelechi, Delph, Garcia, Clichy, Humphreys

Stoke City's influential frontman Jon Walters has dropped to the bench following last week's 2-0 loss at Sunderland.

In one of two changes from that game, Ibrahim Afellay comes in, while Charlie Adam makes way for Geoff Cameron.

Stoke XI: Butland, Pieters, Johnson, Shawcross, Wollscheid, Whelan, Cameron, Shaqiri, Arnautovic, Afellay, Bojan

Subs: Haugaard, Joselu, Wilson, Van Ginkel, Adam, Diouf, Walters

The first thing to say is it's blowing an absolute gale at the Britannia Stadium. A windy afternoon in Stoke has never been more apt.

But let's get your team news...

Stoke. The home of high drama, intense competition and excessive emotion.

And that's just the Great Pottery Throw Down.

I've not seen much of the pottery-themed BBC Two programme (Ok, I've got it on series record), but I know this guy pictured will shed a tear at the mere sight of a well-handled wheel or a finely-glazed Toby jug.

But step aside potters, because today it's all about the Potters and the visit of the Premier League leaders. Let's THROW DOWN!
