Team News

Stoke
Swansea
  • Left-back Enda Stevens is set for a spell on the sidelines after becoming the latest player to join Stoke's growing injury list.
  • Lewis Koumas and Junior Tchamadeu were named on the bench against Bristol City due to fitness issues, but could both return to the starting XI on Saturday.
  • Elsewhere, Ben Pearson could step in to bolster the midfield after a string of substitute appearances.
  • Star midfielder Goncalo Franco was rested against Sheffield Wednesday in midweek and should return to the starting XI.
  • At least two attacking changes are also expected from Luke Williams with Florian Bianchini and Liam Cullen pushing for recalls.
  • Joe Allen and Kristian Pedersen remain sidelined with injuries.

Prediction

  • Stoke failed to produce a shot on target against play-off contenders Bristol City on Wednesday night as the Potters slumped to a 2-0 away defeat at Ashton Gate.
  • Mark Robins' side have won just two of their last 17 Championship fixtures and sit three points clear of the relegation zone heading into gameweek 33.
  • Swansea had no answer for Sheffield Wednesday after Michael Smith put the Owls ahead on 66 minutes in midweek.
  • The 1-0 home defeat killed any momentum carried over from a narrow win against rivals Bristol City and means the visitors have lost five of their last six league games. Luke Williams' side have also won just one of their last 13 matches against Stoke in all competitions.
