Stoke sit rock bottom of the Premier League table with one point from three matches. However, Mark Hughes' team have had another successful transfer window, bringing in Wilfried Bony and Joe Allen to strengthen their squad in the hope of Premier League success this season.

After their rollercoaster of a season last year, Mauricio Pochettino's Spurs have started their campaign with two draws and one win. They may find it hard to replicate their achievements of last season this time around with the league seemingly more competitive than ever, but Pochettino will be determined his side can claim all three points this weekend.

It’s a big game for…

Peter Crouch who faces his old club Tottenham on Saturday afternoon. Crouch scored the goal that confirmed Spurs' spot in the 2010/11 Champions League.

In his time at the club, Crouch played a total of 42 Premier League matches for Tottenham scoring 12 goals. He also managed to net 4 goals in Spurs' Champions League campaign, in which they reached the quarter-final losing 5-0 on aggregate to Real Madrid.

Best stat…

In the last eight games between Stoke and Tottenham, there has been a total of 39 cards, 35 of them yellow and four of them red.

Remember when…

Spurs smashed Stoke 4-0 in the Premier League last season with two goals apiece for England's young starlets Dele Alli and Harry Kane.

Both Alli and Kane had tremendous campaigns last season, scoring a total of 35 goals between them in the Premier League.

Player to watch...

Wilfred Bony. The former Swansea striker has been loaned out to Stoke as part of a larger group of players shipped out of Manchester City, after the arrival of ex-Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola to the club.

Bony will be hoping to seize the opportunity to get his career back on track and show Guardiola that he has the ability to play for Manchester City.
