Team News

Stoke
Fleetwood
  • Alex Morris and Ryan Shawcross take caretaker charge against Fleetwood after Stoke relieved Steven Schumacher of his duties on Monday morning.
  • The duo will have to make do without Enda Stevens, Michael Rose, Ben Pearson and Sam Gallagher, while Lynden Gooch will be assessed.
  • Zech Medley is a long-term absentee for Fleetwood having suffered an Achilles problem last month.

Prediction

  • Stoke parted ways with Steven Schumacher on Monday morning following defeat to Oxford at the weekend, and they'll hope to use the EFL Cup to boost morale.
  • Fleetwood fought well to claim a 3-2 win at Carlisle on Saturday to end a two-game losing run. Victory at the weekend was their first away from home this season.
  • League Two side Fleetwood have already beaten sides higher up the football pyramid in the EFL Cup this season, and they will fancy their chances against an out-of-sorts Stoke.
