Best Tip: Stoke to win

A League Cup victory in front of their own fans for Mark Robins's Stoke side win in the win / draw / win market is our prediction. Statistics suggest they have what it takes, and they should have too much for their opponents. The odds from the bookies suggest so too, and when that happens you've got a pretty compelling case. A Stoke win is the way to go, even if a tight match is possible.
