Football - Premier League - Bet Now at Bet365
Manchester City and Stoke City meet again at Eastlands a matter of days after the former triumphed 1-0 in the FA Cup Final at Wembley.
A Yaya Toure strike gave the men from Manchester their first major silverware in 35 years and now Roberto Mancini's side turn their attentions to trying to finish in third place in the Premier League table and securing a spot in the group stages of next season's Champions League.
A win over Stoke would lift the Citizens a point above Arsenal with one game to play, with the hosts4/11to win on Tuesday evening, while Stoke are8/1to gain revenge for their Wembley loss and the draw is15/4.
Mancini could hand starts to the likes of James Milner and Adam Johnson, while Edin Dzeko may get a chance to impress up front, but Kolo Toure (suspension) and Jerome Boateng (injury) remain sidelined.
Meanwhile, Stoke boss Tony Pulis expects the Citizens' success at Wembley to be just the start of a push for major honours.
He said: "Manchester United and Chelsea have been picking up most of the trophies for a good few years now, but I think Manchester City will join them.
"They'll be a real threat to the big two. When it comes to spending power they're in a different league to other clubs, that includes Manchester United and Chelsea."
Pulis has several injury concerns, with Robert Huth, Jermaine Pennant and Matthew Etherington all rated as doubts, while Asmir Begovic is likely to return in goal in place of Thomas Sorensen.
