Team News

Stoke
Norwich
  • Narcis Pelach could recall Jordan Thompson to the starting XI for the visit of Norwich this weekend.
  • Sam Gallagher picked up a knock late on against Swansea last time out and became the fourth name on the Stoke injury list.
  • Marcelino Nunez is reportedly a doubt for the trip to Stoke, so expect Amankwah Forson to return to the starting XI.
  • Norwich could also be without goalkeeper Angus Gunn, but George Long is waiting in the wings should his services be required.

Prediction

  • Stoke produced a concerning attacking performance against Swansea last time out, attempting just 10 shots during a goalless draw at the Swansea.com Stadium.
  • An eye-catching 6-1 win against Portsmouth is now the Potters' only victory in their last five Championship outings.
  • Norwich are really starting to find their feet under new manager Johannes Thorup.
  • The Canaries raced into a 2-0 lead inside 20 minutes against an in-form Hull side last time out en route to a dominant 4-0 win, extending their unbeaten run to four. Saturday's visitors have taken 10 points from the last 12 available in the Championship.
