📋 Team News: Stoke City
It’s our opinion that The Potters will possibly make use of the 4-2-3-1 formation in the match and select Daniel Iversen, Ki-Jana Hoever, Luke McNally, Michael Rose, Enda Stevens, Wouter Burger, Jordan Thompson, Joon-ho Bae, Josh Laurent, Sead Haksabanovic and Ryan Mmaee.
📋 Team News: West Bromwich Albion
West Bromwich Albion manager Carlos Corberán has not got a full squad to pick from. Jayson Molumby (unknown injury) and Daryl Dike (Achilles tendon surgery) miss out here.
We believe The Baggies seem likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Alex Palmer, Darnell Furlong, Cédric Kipré, Semi Ajayi, Conor Townsend, Okay Yokuslu, Alex Mowatt, Grady Diangana, John Swift, Michael Johnston and B. Thomas-Asante.
