Team News

Stoke
Watford
  • Stoke manager Alex Neil could make just one change to the side that tasted defeat on their trip to Portman Road with former Aston Villa striker Wesley replacing Ryan Mmaee.
  • Tyrese Campbell, Lewis Baker and Emre Tezgel are all confirmed absentees for the Potters.
  • Valerien Ismael made four subs before the hour mark against Plymouth, but will likely only make a single change ahead of kick-off on Saturday with winger Giorgi Chakvetadze replacing Ken Sema.
  • Right-back Jeremy Ngakia's involvement will go down to the wire, while Tom Ince is sidelined for certain.

Prediction

  • Stoke attempted just two shots on target on their trip to Portman Road last weekend, suffering a comprehensive 2-0 defeat at the hands of newly-promoted side and current league leaders, Ipswich Town. A dominant 4-1 win against Rotherham had fans dreaming, but the display against Ipswich has raised plenty of questions about Stoke's credentials this season.
  • Watford produced 21 shots without finding the back of the net when they welcomed Plymouth to Vicarage Road last weekend, eventually settling for a goalless draw against the reigning League 1 champions. The Hornets are yet to lose in 90 minutes under new manager Valerien Ismael and sit third in the table ahead of their trip to the bet365 Stadium.
