P.L. 2010 2011 Stoke West Bromwich on MiamiGunners Match Of The Week
28th february 2011:
stoke city v. west bromwich albion
stoke city v. west bromwich albion
The mid-week international friendlies might have cost West Brom, after one of their star players this season has been named as a doubt for Saturday's game. Chris Brunt picked up a groin problem and was substituted at half-time in Northern Ireland's 1-1 with Morocco on Wednesday night. Albion will not find out the extent of the winger's injury until he reports back to the training but manager Di Matteo admits he is a doubt.
Manager Tony Pulis has some good news ahead of the trip to the Hawthorns. Striker Eidur Gudjohnsen made it through 90 minutes of a mid-week reserve game and Salif Diao also made his comeback from a calf injury in the same match. Neither are expected to make the Potters' starting eleven, but could be named as substitutes. Stoke are still without long-term absentee Mamady Sidibe (achilles) but other than that Pulis' squad is relative injury-free and the Welsh manager will be expected to name the same starting eleven that beat Liverpool 2-0 last weekend.

week 2827th february 2011:
manchester city v. fulham
Manchester City will aim to close the gap on their title rivals when they host Fulham at Eastlands on Sunday. Roberto Mancini's men are currently third in the Premier League but eight points adrift of leaders and local adversaries Manchester United.
Cottagers boss Mark Hughes will be fully focused on another upset as he returns to his former employers, where he was sacked in December 2009 and succeeded by Mancini. The reverse fixture at Craven Cottage back in November saw City go home with a 4-1 victory under their belts, a result they will be hoping to emulate.

Sevilla, recently eliminated from the Europa League, needs the full scoring badly to shorten the gap from the last Champions League qualifying place, which stands 12 points above their head. Sevilla's Luis Fabiano and Antonio Negredo will measure their strengths against Sergio Aguero and Diego Forlan.
