Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Bet365 Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Stoke City FC and Bristol City FC.
- 5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Jamie Paterson suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Bristol City FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Stoke City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

- 44' Lloyd Kelly, a England , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
