During the season West Ham (with one match to come) have used 32 different starters, two more than next on the list Aston Villa

Only four teams in the history of the Premier League have used more in a season since 1992/93

The most different starters ina season is Derby County with 34 in what was the worst ever season by a Premier League team when they collected only 11 points from one win and eight draws

Three other teams have used 33 players Middlesbrough (14th in 05/06), Southampton (20th in 04/05) and Newcastle (13th in 98/99)

Manchester United's Dimitar Berbatov has 21 Premier League goals which puts him joint 7th in Europe's top five leagues but has had little chance to add to that total in the last three and a half months

Berbatov was on 19 goals after his five goal burst in two games at the end of January, with a hat trick in the 5-0 home win over Birmingham and then a double in the 3-2 away win at Blackpool when they came back from a 2-0 deficit

Two games in four days and this is important as well

Stoke dont have to wait long to get revenge for their FA Cup Final defeat with a trip to Eastlands

The last two PL matches between the two have ended 1-1 but they were both at Stoke

City have won both matches in the PL against Stoke at Eastlands and have yet to concede a goal with 3-0 and 2-0 wins

Stoke will be going all out for the win as they could yet finish 7th which would be a fantastic achievement to go with reaching the FA Cup Final

Don't expect to many late goals at St Andrews

Only the bottom two with seven wins have fewer wins than Birmingham's eight this season

A draw looks a good bet in this match as they have both drawn 15 times in the PL this season, the joint most along with Wigan and Everton

10th placed Fulham have the fifth best defensive record in the PL this season with 41 goals conceded

Not much to chose between these two in previous PL meetings, City have four wins, Fulham have three and the draw leads the way with six

West Ham nearing last chance saloon!

Not the fixture Spurs needed when looking for three points!
