Sports Mole previews the action from Everton's Premier League clash with Stoke City.

Everton head into this weekend's Premier League clash with Stoke City off the back of an impressive 2-0 win over champions Manchester City.

The victory has given the Toffees a fighting chance of securing Champions League football come the end of the season, and they can leapfrog Arsenal into fifth with three points at Goodison Park.

Stoke currently sit in mid-table, but are on a poor run of form, with just one win and four defeats in their last six matches.

Everton manager David Moyes will be forced to make at least two changes for the match, with Steven Pienaar and Marouane Fellaini serving suspensions.

Stoke boss Tony Pulis, who has Robert Huth back from suspension, could stick with the same side that drew 0-0 with West Bromwich Albion in their last outing, keeping the faith in strikers Peter Crouch and Cameron Jerome.

Everton: Mucha; Coleman, Baines, Distin, Heitinga; Gibson, Naismith, Osman, Oviedo; Mirallas, Jelavic

Stoke: Begovic; Cameron, Wilson, Shawcross, Wilkinson; Shotton, Whelan, Nzonzi, Walters; Crouch, Jerome

Sports Mole says: 2-0
