3 reasons why Stoke City will turn their season around

They’ve got real quality in all areas of the pitch

Unlike a number of sides nearer the lower echelons of the Premier League table, Stoke have quality in a number of areas on the pitch.

In Ryan Shawcross they have one of the strongest centre-backs in the division, while full-back Erik Pieters has shown to be both good going forward as well as at the back.

Joe Allen joined the club from Liverpool in the summer, and has settled into his role in the centre of midfield brilliantly, netting twice already, including the equaliser at Old Trafford last weekend.

Xherdan Shaqiri, Bojan, Marko Arnautovic are all excellent attacking players, and the loan signing of Wilfried Bony from Manchester City is a great bit of business, such is his quality in the final third.

Stoke have got a really good team – it’s only a matter of time before it all clicks and they start climbing the table.
