Prediction

  • Stoke failed to capitalise on a first-half Di'Shon Bernard red card on Saturday and instead conceded two times as they suffered a humiliating 2-0 away defeat against Sheffield Wednesday. The Potters are now winless in eight league games and manager Narcis Pelach is starting to come under significant pressure.
  • Leeds returned to winning ways in style last time out as Dan James opened the scoring inside nine minutes en-route to a dominant 4-0 victory against a struggling Oxford United side. Daniel Farke's men have taken 10 points from the last 12 available and will expect to continue their fine form at the bet365 Stadium.

    @Marbella On the face of it, does Poundland Pep appear to be out of his depth? Yes. Has he shown anything- beyond the trouncing of Portsmouth some months ago- to suggest otherwise? No. So I agree with you, Marbella, on the face of it, Stoke will soon be in a relegation battle---, if they stick with this guy, :(
