Sports Mole looks ahead to this weekend's Premier League encounter between Stoke City and Norwich City.

A victory for either Stoke City or Norwich City would further boost their chances of keeping their Premier League status before the close of the season.

The Potters are six points away from the drop zone, while the Canaries sit just one point above them in the table following a run of just one victory in their last six games.

For the home side, the spotlight has been on manager Tony Pulis, who has once again reiterated that he will not be leaving the club following fresh reports of a possible exit.

Along with Norwich, Stoke have only secured one victory in their previous six outings, and they failed to get the better of the Canaries at Carrow Road, losing 1-0 in the reverse fixture earlier this season.

Peter Crouch and Cameron Jerome could keep their partnership in attack for Stoke, while the travelling side should employ Bradley Johnson and Jonathan Howson to control the midfield.

Sports Mole says: 1-1
