Prediction: 2-1
Birmingham City
Stoke City and Birmingham City face each other at bet365 Stadium in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program. The Potters have been scoring goals for fun of late, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Birmingham. January signing Josh Maja, who opened his goal-scoring account in a 2-2 draw with Nottingham, should keep his place in the starting XI, while all Campbell, Sima, Vrancic, Sawyers, and Souttar should miss out with injuries.
The Blues, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 3-1 loss to Bournemouth, with the team rolling over Luton 3-0 in front of home fans. However, Birmingham too often struggle on the travels, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Stoke City’s party at bet365 Stadium. The likes of Taylor Richards, Matija Sarkic, Troy Deeney, and Adan George remain in the recovery room, speaking of the away side.

Steven Fletcher was eligible to play for both England and Scotland, but he decided to represent his mother’s home country. Fletcher made his Scotland debut in March 2008, in a friendly against Croatia. He did well to provide an assist for Kenny Miller, who scored the equaliser for the Scotts (1-1).
