LIVERPOOL haven’t won at the Britannia Stadium in the Premier League and they will be in for another tough game at Stoke on Saturday.

Tony Pulis has done some great business in the transfer market and it’s been a real show of ambition by Stoke.

They’ve brought in the likes of Peter Crouch, Matthew Upton, Jonathan Woodgate and Cameron Jerome and look set for a good season.

They play to their strengths and we all know about Rory Delap’s long throws.

Hopefully he sprains his hand before Saturday!

Liverpool just rolled over at Stoke last season and were comprehensively beaten but now we’ve got better players to deal with what they throw at us.

If Glen Johnson isn’t back, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Jamie Carragher at right back with Martin Skrtel and Daniel Agger in the centre.

I don’t think it’s the kind of game to throw in Sebastian Coates. If Coates plays his first match at Stoke he might be left wondering what English football is all about.
