A 1-1 draw is the favourite scoreline, priced at 6/1, and a 1-0 City win is at 7/1. A goalless draw is at 17/2, a 1-0 win for Stoke is at 9/1. A 2-1 City win is at 11/1 with Betfair, and a 2-0 win is at 12/1. A 2-1 Stoke win is at 12/1, and a 2-2 draw is at 16/1.

On the half time / full time market, City / City is the favourite spot, priced at 10/3. Draw / draw is at 4/1, draw / City and Stoke / Stoke are both at 5/1.

City will be missing Carlos Tevez, who has returned to Argentina for family reasons, as well as Craig Bellamy and Vincent Kompany who are injured.
