Stoke City is currently second to the last place in the 20-team English top flight table, only a point above cellar-dwellers Sunderland. The two teams are the only remaining clubs in this season's Premier League competitions that do not have a win so far after seven rounds.
Stoke City is coming off an impressive 1-1 draw with star-studded team Manchester United on the road at the Old Trafford on Oct. 2 to score their third point in the overall standings, as per Metro.
The Potters were able to fend off the persistent attacks of the Red Devils all throughout the match as the visitors kept the game goalless until the 69th minute when French winger Anthony Martial broke the deadlock with a fine shot from a pass by team captain Wayne Rooney.
Head coach Mark Hughes' side managed to equalize, though, as Welsh midfielder Joe Allen caught the Red Devils' defense sleeping and slotted in a rebound in the 82nd minute.
Meanwhile, Sunderland snapped a three-game losing streak with a 1-1 tie with West Bromwich Albion at their home field of Stadium of Light on Oct. 1, Chronicle Live reported.
The Black Cats started poorly again in this match as West Brom opened the scoring early in the 35th minute with a goal from Belgian midfielder Nacer Chadli off an assist from teammate Matt Phillips.
It seemed like a fourth straight loss for head coach David Moyes' team as Sunderland struggled to move forward in the attack.
The team was able to find the equalizer with only seven minutes left before full time as Dutch defender Patrick van Aanholt pulled off a looping volley that found the back of West Brom's net to salvage the draw and a share of a point in the overall standings.
