Premier League -- Results
The 2014-15 season is Stoke City's seventh season in the Premier League and the 59th in the top tier of English football. In preparation for the 2014-15 season Mark Hughes signed Phil Bardsley, Mame Biram Diouf, Bojan Krkić, Steve Sidwell, Dionatan Teixeira whilst Victor Moses and Oussama Assaidi joined on season-long loans. Departing the Britannia Stadium were Matthew Etherington, Cameron Jerome, Michael Kightly and Ryan Shotton. Stoke had a mixed start to the season as they lost 1-0 at home to Aston Villa, drew 1-1 with Hull City and then beat the reigning league champions Manchester City 1-0. This set the tone for an inconsistent Autumn as Stoke managed just three wins in September, October and November and lost at home to newly promoted sides Burnley and Leicester City. Results improved in December as the Potters beat Arsenal 3-2, Everton and West Bromwich Albion both 1-0. Stoke suffered a number of injuries in January most notably to Bojan but the side were still able to secure victories against Leicester City and Queens Park Rangers. Stoke's only arrival in the January transfer window was German centre-back Philipp Wollscheid on loan from Bayer Leverkusen. After drawing 1-1 at Newcastle United, Stoke suffered back-to-back 4-1 defeats to Manchester City and then in the FA Cup to Blackburn Rovers. Stoke recovered well from this set-back winning their next three matches against Aston Villa, Hull City and Everton. This was the followed by three defeats against West Brom, Crystal Palace and Chelsea. Stoke ended the season strongly with victories over Southampton (2-1), Tottenham Hotspur (3-0) and Liverpool (6-1) ensuring a second consecutive 9th-place finish.
