Slydodge:


Last season Stoke beat Aston Villa 3-2 at home and managed a 2-2 draw at Villa Park. Even though Stoke have really improved away from home this season, I still wouldn't bet against Martin O'Neill's side at the moment.

Aston Villa are in excellent form. Only 1 defeat in their last 11 in the League, and on a good run of three consecutive wins. At Villa Park they have 5 wins, 2 draws in their last 7 since the home defeat to Wigan in their opening game. Stoke are a very tough side, however I just feel that with the likes of Milner, Young and Agbonlahor in good form and playing with confidence, Aston Villa will create enough chances and I really do expect them to win this game.

Aston Villa 2-0 Stoke City
