Stoke City vs Burnley Prediction
Stoke had an October to forget, as they began the month with a win but ended it with a five-game winless run, losing twice. However, the Potters have hit a purple patch in November and are unbeaten in five games this month, drawing the last three.
Burnley, meanwhile, were arguably the favourites to gain promotion this season, and the Turf Moor outfit are making good on their promise. They are just two points off table-toppers Leeds United. Manager Scott Parker is basing his side's promotion push on a stringent defence that has kept clean sheets in their last four league games.
Burnley have lost just one of their last 14 league games - winning seven - so expect them to claim maximum points with a narrow win and clean sheet.
