Stoke City striker Peter Crouch admits they're flying going into their clash with Manchester City.

Four straight Prem wins have seen Tony Pulis' legion make their best ever start to a season - and that includes a 5-0 defeat at bottom club Bolton last month.

Crouch said: "When we lost four games in a row, people were saying it was a crisis and we were going down.

"We win four on the trot and everyone is saying great things about you. It's a great run, our best ever, and four back-to-back wins in the Premier League is difficult for any team to achieve. Now we've got to continue that.

"Fortunately we've got an easy fixture on Wednesday against Man City and we are all looking forward to that!"
