The bottom two clubs in the Premier League meet on Saturday in a clash that already has the hallmark of a game that could define the season. Kirk Gibson Dodgers Jersey .Stoke City (0-3-4) and Sunderland (0-2-5) are both winless and separated by just a point at the foot of the table, while no other clubs in the English top-flight are yet to record a victory this season.And although its too early to describe any game in the division as a relegation tussle, the performances shown by both the Potters and the Black Cats in the opening two months of the campaign suggest that defeat in this game would leave either side with a lot of soul-searching to do before being able to find enough form to pull clear of danger.However, despite the pressure on the result, Stoke City boss Mark Hughes is arriving into Saturdays encounter with a surprisingly high level of confidence, with the coach looking to project as many positives as possible from his teams draw with Manchester United last time outWere the home side and if we play as well as weve done in recent weeks then we should (win), Hughes told reporters in his Thursday media conference.

Its hard enough being on the sidelines and getting your head around that, going to the games and supporting the boys when you know you arent going to be involved for a while.When weve scored Ive been jumping up and down… as best I could!I am fully focused on my recovery and my rehab, but at the same time I try to get myself as much involved as I can with the lads and help out and push them on and use my experience.Stoke arent short of their own injury problems, with Jack Butland, Stephen Ireland and Ibrahim Afellay all out and Glen Johnson and Joe Allen both doubts after picking up knocks on international duty.
