Team News

Stoke
WBA
  • Enda Stevens is the only absentee for Stoke for this League cup match.
  • Expect Alex Neil to rest key players from their 4-1 win over Rotherham on the weekend.
  • Andre Vidigal could be one of those rested, following his brace on his debut for the Potters.
  • Carlos Corberan will be without Adam Reach and Daryl Dike, as they endure extended spells on the sideline.
  • He could hand a Baggies debut to Josh Maja, after he signed from Bordeaux in the summer transfer window.
  • Josh Griffiths should start in goal in this all Championship EFL Cup tie.

Prediction

  • Following contrasting weekends for the two Championship sides as they returned to action, Stoke host West Brom in this all-Championship Carabao Cup tie.
  • Stoke got off to a perfect start, winning 4-1 against Rotherham on the opening weekend of the season. Goals from Ki-Jana Hoever, new signing Andre Vidigal and Jacob Brown set them on their way to victory. We expect some changes to how Alex Neil's side lined up on the opening day, with a potential start for youngster Sol Sidibe, who became the youngest Stoke player to make his league debut in over 65 years.
  • As for West Brom, three defeats from their last four league games meant the play-offs were an afterthought, and they would've loved to kick off their campaign with a win, but two quickfire goals from Blackburn consigned the Baggies to a 2-1 defeat on Saturday. Josh Maja could make his WBA debut after arriving from Bordeaux, as we expect some changes with a game against Swansea on the weekend.
