Aston Villa vs Stoke City Match Preview
A 2-0 win over Sunderland midweek propelled Aston Villa past Arsenal to go third in the table. At least for 24 hours until Arsenal drew with Burnley on Wednesday. Now sitting in fourth place, manager Martin O\'Neill refuses to be seduced into talk of a finish in the top four and the potential for European football next season. But his side\'s results suggest that the Europa League, if not Champion\'s League proper, is likely coming into his focus.
Stoke City lies firmly in mid-table. Despite only one win in their last six matches, their come from behind 2-2 draw with Wigan last weekend must be encouraging to manager Tony Pulis. But an alleged altercation in the dressing room between the manager and star striker James Beattie—allegedly over a change in team Christmas party plans!--won\'t encourage a positive team spirit as they face an ascendant Aston Villa side.
