Match Preview: Blades v Stoke City

Is Carl Asaba Out To Haunt Ex-Club.

Jack Lester saw his spot kick fly over the bar and Andy Gray hit the post with a stunning half-volley before he grabbed the winner.

After reciving his fifth yellow card of the sea son we believe Michael Tonge will be suspended. There is a cut off date which could allow the former Manchester United trainee to continue playing but we are unsure as to the date.

Simon Francis, who was involved in a innocent head clash injury spent Monday night in Hallamshire Hospital and is Neil Warnock's only doubt ahead of the game against City.

Jody Morris and Martin Butler supplied goals which gave Rotherham United a 2-0 win away at the Britannia Stadium in there game on Easter Monday.

Keeper Ed De Goey will miss the game through concussion while John Eustace is struggling with a groin injury.

Strikers Ade Akinbiyi (back) and Chris Greenacre (ligaments) are defiantly out for the Potters.
