Prediction

  • Stoke raced into an early 1-0 lead against Luton in midweek thanks to Tom Cannon's sixth-minute goal, but the Potters couldn't hold on as Rob Edwards' struggling side came back to win on home soil.
  • Narcis Pelach's methods are now being questioned after a six-game winless run with three successive league defeats.
  • Cardiff navigated a hard-fought 90 minutes without reward on Wednesday night as they were beaten 2-0 at home by a Preston side who were winless in nine prior to kick-off.
  • The announcement of Ömer Riza's permanent appointment has not yielded the desired reaction, and the away side are now winless in six Championship matches.
