ℹ️ Team News: Stoke City

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just the lone fitness concern for the Stoke City boss Michael O'Neill to contend with from a near full-strength squad. Harry Souttar (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) misses out.

It’s our opinion that The Potters will probably line up in a 3-1-4-2 system featuring Josef Bursik, Tom Sparrow, Phil Jagielka, T. Harwood-Bellis, Nick Powell, Lewis Baker, Joe Allen, Josh Tymon, Morgan Fox, Jacob Brown and Sam Clucas.

📋 Team News: Coventry City

With a fully healthy squad ready to go, the Coventry City boss Mark Robins has zero fitness worries at all before this clash.

We are inclined to think that The Sky Blues appear most likely to make use of a 3-4-1-2 lineup, giving starts to Ben Wilson, Liam Kelly, Kyle McFadzean, Dominic Hyam, Jake Clarke-Salter, Jordan Shipley, Jamie Allen, Ian Maatsen, Callum O'Hare, Josh Eccles and Viktor Gyoekeres.

We feel that Coventry City will have their work cut out to be putting a goal past this Stoke City outfit who we think might well emerge victorious.

We’ve gone for a hard-fought 1-0 winning margin for Stoke City at the end of the 90 minutes.

We’re expecting it to be that close.
