Stoke
- Josh Maja is facing a few weeks on the sidelines with a lower leg injury, so Karlan Grant could push forward to lead the line.
- That move may create room for John Swift to start in an attacking midfield role.
- Tom Cannon has been recalled by Leicester, so Nathan Lowe could start up top after returning from League Two leaders Walsall.
- Sam Gallagher is facing another spell on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring issue.
A bore draw as both goalscorers are not featuring today?
Difficult to Predict this one. Stoke's joint-best player, Striker Tom Cannon, has returned to Leicester and his replacement, Nathan Lowe, hasn't proved he can make the jump up from League 2. I think I'll advise Under 2.5 Goals but I will bet on Stoke. They really are something of a Sleeping Giant which I feel is going to be awoken sooner or later by Mark Robins.
@RichieRochdale You won, I lost but at least Nathan Lowe scored on his return to Stoke City! :)
