Swansea City
Stoke City and Swansea City, the two teams who played in the Premier League last season, face each other at Bet365 Stadium on day 8 of the new Championship campaign. Stoke City have been struggling to find their best form at the start of the season, but Tuesday’s football match against the Welsh outfit could be the turning point for the hosts. The Potters head into the game following a 2-2 draw with Sheffield Wednesday where Benik Afobe scored a brace. The former Bournemouth attacker has found his goal-scoring touch, meaning that the opposition defenders should have him at bay. The Swans, on the other hand, have been playing above expectations at the start of the season and they sit in the play-offs berth ahead of the trip to Stoke. Swansea have been producing fine displays on the road of late and they are definitely capable of holding Stoke City to a draw in the midweek fixture.

During the summer transfer window the 24-year-old defender insisted on a move away from the club with Premier League being his preferred destination. On the final day of the transfer marked Bruno Martins Indi has been set to Stoke City on a season long loan.
