ℹ️ Team News: Stoke City

It seems likely that The Potters will possibly use a 4-2-3-1 system for this game featuring Viktor Johansson, Junior Tchamadeu, Ashley Phillips, Ben Wilmot, Eric Bocat, Jordan Thompson, Wouter Burger, Million Manhoef, Lewis Baker, Joon-Ho Bae and Sam Gallagher.

📋 Team News: Luton Town

Luton Town manager Matt Bloomfield has a number of players out of action. Teden Mengi (Knee injury), Marvelous Nakamba (Calf injury) and Tom Lockyer (heart problems) are those who can’t be considered.

We’re of the thinking that The Hatters seem most likely to elect for a 3-5-2 formation, settling for Thomas Kaminski, Christ Makosso, Mark McGuinness, Amari'i Bell, Isaiah Jones, Jordan Clark, Thelo Aasgaard, Liam Walsh, Alfie Doughty, Carlton Morris and Tahith Chong.

🔮 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Luton Town will need to put in a solid display to see themselves scoring against this Stoke City side who we reckon should win and very possibly keep a clean sheet.

We’re therefore predicting a good battle with a 1-0 winning score for Stoke City at the conclusion of the game.

Let’s see how this one goes.
