Stoke City Football Formation

Lineup (4-4-2)

Since Stoke City gained promotion to the Premier League in 2008, I think they are a well established top flight side now. Peter Crouch and Kenwyne Jones are brilliant strikers, while Jermaine Pennant and Matthew Etherington bomb down the wing, with Rory Delap's excellent throw-ins. Jonathan Woodgate and Ryan Shawcross (Matt Upson is a splendid back-up) keep the tackles in. Asmir Begovic is a class keeper and was even rumoured to go to Chelsea at the end of last season as backup for Petr Cech. This formation is very good, Stoke fans!

Stoke have finished 12th, 11th and 13th in the last few seasons, but the Britannia Stadium has seen Europa League football this season, and with the Potters nicely tucked in 8th in the Premier League table, the potential looks good for Stoke.
