Team News

Stoke
QPR
  • Striker Ali Al-Hamadi faces a late fitness test after withdrawing from international duty with Iraq due to a groin injury.
  • If Al-Hamadi is not deemed fit enough to feature, expect Sam Gallagher to lead the line for Stoke.
  • Elsewhere, winger Million Manhoef is pushing for a return to the starting XI.
  • Ilias Chair, Jake Clarke-Salter and Sam Field are all confirmed absentees for the trip to the bet365 Stadium this weekend.
  • Rayan Kolli returned to training earlier this month and could feature in the matchday squad on Saturday.
  • Expect Jonathan Varane to return to the line-up, while Karamoko Dembele should replace the suspended Koki Saito.

Prediction

  • Stoke were heading for a valuable point against mid-table Millwall when Mihailo Ivanovic scored from the spot deep into stoppage time and condemned the Potters to defeat in London.
  • Mark Robins' men are in immense trouble with eight games remaining. They sit one point clear of the relegation zone with one win and four defeats from their last six league matches.
  • QPR scored twice inside the opening half-hour against league leaders Leeds last weekend but were unable to hold on for all three points and were back on level terms after 51 minutes.
  • After picking up just one point from their last five Championship fixtures, Rangers have been dragged into the fringes of the relegation battle.
