    Football - Yoshida: Saints can rule Britannia

    Maya Yoshida might be expecting a "really tough game" at Stoke but is confident Southampton can end the hosts' long unbeaten home record.

    Tony Pulis' side are unbeaten in 16 league games at the Britannia Stadium following their comprehensive 3-1 defeat of Liverpool on Boxing Day.

    Southampton are next up for Stoke and, while wary of the threat the home side pose, centre-back Yoshida is hopeful of ending their long unbeaten streak.

    "It will be a really, really tough game I think," the Japan international said. "Stoke have not lost a home game this season.

    "They have many, many tall guys so it will be a more physical game.

    "We have to give away less free-kicks, corner kicks and deep throw-ins otherwise they will put many, many long balls in the box. We have to think about this.

    "Of course every time I want to win a game but this time it would be really nice because they haven't lost a home game (for a long time)."
