Match Preview: Saturday,2nd March 2013, One of the important match Stoke v West Ham of Barclays Premier League HD Quality Live streaming is available here.Stoke v West Ham Live Stream online Barclays Premier League Video Free The match will take plcae at Britannia Stadium on 3/2/13 Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things.This is a meeting of two sides whose impressive work in the first half of the season has offset their enormous disappointments so far in the second.At the start of this campaign, both teams will have set themselves the initial aim of the 40-point safety mark - a target they were well on the way to achieving at the turn of the year. Stoke sat on 28 points after 19 games, the Hammers on 26 points after 20, and both may have allowed themselves the thought of a readjustment upwards regarding their ultimate final position - but that was before the recent rot set in.Both will come into this game having earned just four points from their last seven matches, accentuating the significance of their duel.Though neither have genuine relegation concerns, residing nine and six points above the drop zone respectively, their equally alarming blips do need arresting - and quickly.
Scoring goals has remained an issue for both managers - only QPR have registered fewer than Stoke, while both West Ham and the Potters share the unwanted distinction as the least prolific clubs on their travels with just eight apiece. Stoke will therefore be glad they have home advantage, particularly so as 24 of their 33 points have so far been accumulated at the Britannia - a venue at which only Chelsea have managed to gain three points as a visitor.
Only eight of the Hammers' 30 points have come on their travels - they're on a current run of eight games without victory away from Upton Park, suffering five successive reverses in the process.
Everything would seem to point to a home win, yet historically West Ham have enjoyed their visits to the Potteries, scoring on their last 13 trips there and losing just once in the last seven. Perhaps the wise money therefore will be on a draw.
Team News:
Stoke's Robert Huth begins a three-game ban, while Matthew Etherington and Michael Owen will undergo fitness tests on respective back and thigh problems.
Midfielder Steven Nzonzi could play wearing a protective mask, having broken his nose against Fulham.
West Ham will be without captain Kevin Nolan, who has a broken toe.
