Stoke
- Jos Luhukay will be without tricky winger Fernando Forestieri after the Argentine was handed a three-match ban for his involvement in a brawl during a pre-season friendly against Mansfield.
- Academy graduate Matt Penney will likely get the nod ahead of the more experienced Morgan Fox at left-back after another impressive showing against Reading.
- Stoke boss Gary Rowett could hand a full debut to midfielder Ryan Woods, who arrived from Brentford in time to make the bench against West Brom.
- There could also be starts for the likes of Bojan and Benik Afobe as Rowett looks to kickstart his side's season.
