STOKE CITY vs. WEST HAM UNITED Live Stream FREE Online: 2014 Premier League Table, Live Coverage From Stoke-on-Trent, Projected Lineups and TACTICAL PREVIEW

Two clubs in opposite halves of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Stoke City and West Ham United. The first-division clash scheduled for 11 a.m. ET will be held at the Britannia Stadium and can be live streamed here free

Though Stoke and West Ham enter the weekend in opposite halves of the Premier League table, the two are level on points with 31. West Ham's minus-four goal differential serves as the tiebreaker between the two. With a level playing field, West Ham manager Sam Allardyce is demanding a clinical approach from his men against Stoke on Saturday (h/t to TeamTalk). "The clinical aspect, which we have done so well in the four games we'd won on the trot, deserted us at Everton and we've got to get that back," Allardyce said. "We've got to take the opportunities when they arise. We scored against the run of play sometimes, we scored when we were in the ascendancy and we've got to make sure we are as clinical as we were in those four games," he added.

"Our defensive unit has to be solid and aware of what they're going to try and do to break us down."
