CRI听力:Manchester City to Take on Stoke City in EPL

Round 15 of the English Premier League is set to kick off tonight with 8 games on the schedule.

The first one has Manchester City up against Stoke.

Man City coach Manuel Pellegrini offered these thoughts on the game.

"It's very important when yo play against Stoke to be an aggressive team from the beginning, try to go for the three points from the first minute, because they are always an agressive team, especially in the first 15 or 20 minutes, they want to make the difference, so it's very important to have good possession and be very attentive in defending."

City are going to be without both Sergio Aguero and Yaya Toure, both of whom are suffering from injury.

Elsewhere, Leicester, which is tied at the top of the table with Man City at 29-points, is on the road in Wales taking on Swansea.

Leicester's Jamie Vardy comes into this evening's match with a chance to write his name into the Premier League record books if he can net a goal tonight, which would be his 12th straight match with a goal in the Premiership.

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri says he is hoping for a lot out of all his players on Saturday night.

"Now for me, Swansea's a very good team and this moment is no play(ing) well, how they deserve or can do. And I told to my players, 'be careful because Swansea's a good team,' and for us a very important (game)."

Should Vardy score tonight, he would tie a record set back in 1932.

In other action, 3rd place Man-U is at home to West Ham United.

4th place Arsenal entertains Sunderland.

Norwich is looking to put some distance between itself and the relegation line as they take on Watford.

And it's West Bromwich Albion up against Tottenham
