Our prediction for this Championship match:
Bet365 Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion, the two old rivals. The Potters aim to recover from a 3-0 loss to Watford and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Baggies. Lynden Gooch has joined the likes of Ben Pearson and Ryan Mmaee in the recovery room, while teenage midfielder is pushing for his first start of the season. Yet another teenager Emre Tezgel is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts.
West Brom, on the other hand, played out a goalless draw with Leeds United at the weekend. The Baggies aim to return to winning ways as soon as possible and given the number of absentees in the home team, away win should be considered. A man to watch in the away team will be Nigeria forward Josh Maja, who scored a hat-trick in a 3-1 win over Queens Park Rangers. Midfielder Jed Wallace remains on the sidelines with a calf injury.
