Man city vs Stoke city (Asian Handicap) prediction

I was all smiles watching Arseanl 2-0 up at half time waiting for the third to wrap things up for the night, Unfortunately I had to wait wait all night to no avail amidst the number of chances created. They were just as inefficient in converting their chances as usual. Its the cityzens this time and I expect them to respond better than the gunners. Nothing much can be said about man city and league title other than a top 4 finish and a long dream of champions league glory if they get past Madrid for the start. City have won 3 of their last 4 matches drawing their last one against Relegation threatened Newcastle. For this match, they have Samir Nasri back in contention after suffering a muscular tweak against Chelsea while sagna and clichy could be given rest. Stoke of course have been decent in the last month but are going through their periodic slump in form and with the season very much coming to an end it looks pretty much set to continue here. They have conceded at least twice in their last 3 games losing the last 2 with 4 goals conceded per game and I expect them tighten things up abit here. They have a blow in Shaqiri who is sidelined here with injury ( hamstring ) while Geln Johnson and wilson are injured as well. Erik Peters continues his suspension here. All things being equal stoke are really a side I enjoy backing in games like this. But with their best player (IMO) going forward injured here. I struggle to see them create many chances. I am going with the home win by a couple of goals but with Madrid visiting in midweek, I would be suprised for city tighten up here as they await the visit of Los balncos. A rare market but I think its worth a shot here. City win to nill. GL!
