Tony Pulis tells his Stoke City players that the pressure will be on Manchester City when the two teams meet tomorrow.

Stoke City manager Tony Pulis have insisted that there will be no pressure on his players when they travel to Manchester City tomorrow afternoon.

The Potters have only emerged victorious from seven of 50 meetings between the two clubs in Manchester.

Despite the fact that his side are unbeaten in their last 10 Premier League matches, Pulis believes that Man City are the clear favourites to claim maximum points at the Etihad Stadium.

"This is a bonus game for us. We will need a hell of a lot to go for us if we are to get a result from this match," he told the club's official website.

"Everybody knows it's going to be a tough, tough game with all the resources that make them one of the top clubs in Europe.

"But we'll go there with the same spirit and commitment which we have shown throughout this run and really give it a go."

Stoke go into the match eighth in the Premier League table.
