FA Cup Semi-Final Preview: Stoke City vs Bolton

Christopher Harris

While Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final between Manchester United and Manchester City was tense filled with moments of creativity, many fans and pundits (myself included) predict that the semi-final match between Stoke City and Bolton Wanderers will be the more enjoyable of the two Wembley matches this weekend.

Owen Coyle’s Bolton Wanderers and Tony Pulis’s Stoke City are evenly matched sides that feature several creative players who can turn this game into a spectacle. For anyone who saw the entertaining quarter-final between Birmingham City and Bolton Wanderers, you’ll know that Bolton are a difficult team to beat and one that can create something out of nothing.
