Team News

Stoke
WBA
  • Steven Schumacher will likely shuffle his hand ahead of the visit of West Brom with Andy Moran and Bae Jun-Ho both pushing for starts.
  • Sam Gallagher and Ben Pearson are both sidelined with injuries, with Michael Rose and Enda Stevens also unavailable.
  • Carlos Corberan could name an unchanged starting XI when his side travel to the bet365 Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
  • Grady Diangana and Jed Wallace both returned to action against Leeds last weekend, meaning striker Daryl Dike is the away side's only injury concern for this fixture.

Prediction

  • Stoke were left shell-shocked by an Edo Kayembe-inspired Watford side at Vicarage Road, conceding twice in the four minutes after half time before the Hornets scored again late on.
  • That result sapped some of the optimism sparked by a narrow opening weekend win against Coventry.
  • West Brom stifled Leeds' attacking might at the Hawthorns last weekend, closing out a goalless draw against the pre-season title favourites.
  • With a 3-1 win against QPR already in the bank, Carlos Corberan will be delighted with the way that his side have started the 2024/25 campaign.
