Britannia Stadium is set to witness Premier League action, on Saturday, November 19, 2011, when Stoke City host QPR, in match week 12.
Stoke City are coming off a humiliating loss away at Bolton, in match week 11. The visitors were totally outclassed as Davies gave the hosts an early lead on 2 minutes. The sides went into the interval, with Bolton leading 2-0, on the back of a second goal, on 23 minutes, by Eagles. Bolton who lost to Stoke in last year’s FA Cup semi-finals, exacted revenge, as Eagles scored another goal in the second half, and Kalsnic helped himself to a brace, as well. The midweek Europa League fixture in Israel would have had a draining effect on the Potters who will seek to make amends against QPR.
QPR went down fighting, losing 3-2 to table leaders Manchester City in a home game, at Loftus Road, in match week 11. QPR became the first team to take a lead against City, this season, when Bothroyd put them ahead on 28 minutes. City leveled the score through Dzeko 13 minutes later and the sides went into the break, with the scores level on 1-1. Silva got City ahead 7 minutes into the second half, but QPR weren’t giving up yet, and on 69 minutes, Helguson made it 2-2 for the hosts. Y Toure’s header in the 74th minute proved decisive for City, and QPR were left ruing their missed opportunity to slavage a point when Helguson’s shot, eight minutes from the end, struck the bar.
Head to head, in the last 10 years, Stoke City and QPR have met in 10 league games, both teams winning four each, with the remaining two matches drawn. The last time these teams met was in March 2008, that match hosted by QPR was won 3-0 by the Loftus Road squad.
