3 reasons why Stoke City will turn their season around

They’ve started similarly before, and finished top-half

Cast your minds back 12 months, and you’ll notice that Stoke didn’t start the 2015/16 season particularly well either.

They picked up just three points from their opening six matches, which left them in the bottom three alongside Newcastle United and Sunderland.

They then won three on the spin against AFC Bournemouth, Aston Villa, and Swansea City, which propelled them to the middle of the table. They went on to finish ninth last term.

They’ve been in a similar situation before, and they know that they are good enough to pull themselves away from danger before the relegation dogfight begins.
