Summary:

Tottenham has been in decent form going (5-3-2) in their last ten matches while Stoke City is (3-3-4) in that span.  Tottenham should have possession for the majority of the game and the Stoke City defense has been iffy at times this season.  Tottenham have one of the most prolific goal scorers in Harry Kane who I predict will score at least once on Sunday. The Tottenham defense has allowed fewer goals than any team in the Premier League this season so I anticipate them to hold Stoke City off the score sheet.  Tottenham is unbeaten at home this season where they are (10-2-1).  Tottenham has the advantage in every statistical category and should win this one by at least two goals at home.
