Team News

Stoke
Preston
  • Alex Neil could make as many as three changes on Monday afternoon with Josh Laurent, Nick Powell and Liam Delap returning to the starting XI.
  • With Josh Laurent back fit and integrated into the first team, Sam Clucas is Stoke's only injury concern ahead of the visit of Preston.
  • Ryan Lowe could hand a start to midfielder Alistair McCann following a string of substitute appearances.
  • The Lilywhites will be without four first-team players on Monday afternoon with Andrew Hughes and Robbie Brady the most notable.

Prediction

  • Alex Neil will welcome former club Preston to the bet365 Stadium on Monday afternoon as he looks to improve the club's dreadful home record. Monday's hosts took league leaders Burnley close on Friday, but were once again left empty-handed for their efforts.
  • Preston's alarming recent form took another turn for the worse on Thursday as they succumbed to a 2-0 defeat against West Brom at the Hawthorns. The Lilywhites have lost three on the spin in the league, and four of their last five.
