Stoke have six matches in which to save themselves from relegation and the portents are inauspicious.Paul Lambert has had a host of problems to address before the visit of Tottenham, including Saido Berahino’s time-keeping, Ibrahim Afellay’s attitude and an interview in which Xherdan Shaqiri was quoted bemoaning the lack of quality at Stoke. That is hardly the ideal preparation for Spurs, who have beaten Stoke by four goals in their past four meetings. Lambert has introduced a little more solidity since replacing Mark Hughes but they still do not look capable of a clean sheet. Paul Doyle
