Crouch Tends To Give Gunners Both Barrels

Stoke City have such an impressive home record (W5 D6 L2), that it’s only really a question of what angle to take in favouring the hosts with a bet for this match. On balance, Peter Crouch to score anytime looks like the choice pick at best odds of 7/2 with Betfred.

That price looks big when you consider that the former England striker has found the net seven times against the Gunners before, and has scored in four of his last six league games at the Britannia Stadium.

Crouch already has goals against Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea this season so we shouldn’t be scared of backing him against the big boys. Arsenal haven’t won any of their last three trips to the Potteries so this will be a stiff examination of their title credentials.
