Team News

Stoke
Millwall
  • Steven Schumacher will likely opt for a 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 system akin to the one used during his time at Plymouth with Mehdi Leris and Andre Vidigal both compelling options out wide.
  • Ben Pearson will serve the second instalment of a two-match yellow card suspension.
  • Joe Bryan returned to the matchday squad last weekend, meaning midfielder Casper De Norre is the away side's only confirmed absentee here.

Prediction

  • Stoke will have a new name in the dugout on Saturday after Steven Schumacher agreed to join the club following a sensational spell in charge of Championship rivals Plymouth.
  • He takes over a side in freefall with the Potters dropping to 19th in the standings following an eight-game winless streak.
  • Millwall were on course for a vital three points against fellow strugglers Huddersfield last time out before a stoppage-time Delano Burgzorg penalty levelled the scoreline.
  • Since marking his first game in charge with a 4-0 win against Sheffield Wednesday, Joe Edwards has seen his side claim just two points from the last 18 available.
