Stoke midfielder Glenn Whelan hoping for revenge against Manchester City as he targets West Brom: ‘If we catch them then we’ll keep chasing’ Glenn Whelan is hoping Stoke can get a rare result at high-flying Manchester City in the Premier League on Wednesday, to help them improve on last season’s ninth-place finish. Stoke, who are ninth in the table and five points behind eighth-placed West Brom, were beaten 4-1 at home by City in August, and have won just one of their eight trips to the Etihad Stadium.
