[ad_1]

Seeking to secure three trotting wins and extend their lead at the top of the EFL Championship table, Bournemouth travel to bet365 Stadium to face Stoke City on Tuesday.

The hosts, meanwhile, are stepping into the game after a loss to Sheffield United and will look to get back on their way to victory quickly.

Stoke City were denied a second rebound victory last Saturday when they lost a one-goal lead before falling to a disappointing 2-1 loss at the hands of Sheffield United.

Before that, Michael O’Neill’s men extended their unbeaten streak to four in all competitions with a 1-0 win over West Bromwich Albion at home.

With 21 points in 12 outings, Stoke City are currently fifth in the EFL Championship standings, one point above Huddersfield Town in last place in the playoffs.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth continued their quest for the title last time around with a 2-0 victory at Bristol City.

Scott Parker’s men are now the only team to have been defeated in the division this quarter, taking eight wins and four draws in 12 games.

The Cherries, who are currently at the top of the roster, head into Tuesday’s game on a two-game winning streak and will look to keep up the pace.
