Team News

Stoke
Cardiff
  • Ben Pearson will miss the visit of Cardiff after picking up an injury last weekend, while Jordan Thompson is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card of the campaign.
  • Jack Bonham is the new number one at Stoke after Mark Travers was recalled from his loan spell by Bournemouth.
  • Erol Bulut will name an almost unchanged starting XI on Saturday with the only likely change being a start for academy graduate Rubin Colwill.
  • Aaron Ramsey, Callum O'Dowda and Kion Etete all remain sidelined for the visitors.

Prediction

  • Stoke's climb up the table continued last weekend when first-half goals from Michael Rose and Mehdi Leris secured a 2-0 away win against Michael Carrick's Middlesbrough side. Alex Neil was facing the exit door not long ago, but the Potters now sit 11th in the standings off the back of three straight league wins.
  • Rubin Colwill came off the bench to net the winner against rivals Bristol City last weekend in a win that put an end to Nigel Pearson's time with the club. Cardiff now look to have shaken off their wobble and have climbed back into the top six after back-to-back league wins.
