Joe Allen hoping to end Stoke's poor away record at Bournemouth: 'It's not something we're proud of'

Stoke will hope to revive their push for a top-10 finish by ending their scoring drought away from home at Bournemouth on Saturday, midfielder Joe Allen has said.

Mark Hughes' 12th-placed side are on a six-game winless run away from home, having failed to score on their travels since a 3-1 victory at Sunderland in January.

'We want to get rid of that record. It's not something we're proud of so that's our aim,' Wales international Allen told Stoke Sentinel.
