Burnley (14th) play Stoke City (10th) at Turf Moor, 9 January 2010, 3:00pm.
GAME CALLED OFF
Managerless Burnley, winless in nine (although with draws against Arsenal, Aston Villa an Manchester city in that time) are not likely to react well without Owen Coyle.
Stoke City, ensconced in the middle of the Premier League thanks primarily to their home form will fancy their chances to score their first goal away from home in four games and second away win of the season. Burnley however have lost only once at home and uncertainty over how well the caretaker manager can motivate the team makes this a tough game to call.
Best Bet – Score draw & and penalty scored by Graham Alexander (71 out of 76 all time).
First scorer – Tuncay.
Worth a punt – Graham Alexander to score a penalty.
Prediction:
Burnley 1 – 1 Stoke City
