Robert Mancini began his reign as Manchester City manager with a 2-0 home win over Stoke on Boxing Day 2009.
Stoke last won at City in October 1997; their only victory in 12 subsequent league meetings between the sides came at home in January 2009 when they triumphed 1-0 despite playing over half the match with 10 men after Rory Delap was sent off.
