Team News

Stoke
Leicester
  • Junior Tchamadeu could return to the starting XI at right-back after Cameroon were knocked out of the Africa Cup of Nations.
  • Two further changes are on the cards for the hosts with Lewis Baker and Ryan Mmaee both looking for recalls.
  • Abdul Fatawu served the final instalment of a three-match ban on Tuesday night, meaning the young winger will be available to start at the bet365 Stadium.
  • Harry Souttar and Kelechi Iheanacho are both on international duty, while Wilfred Ndidi is not fit to start in midfield.

Prediction

  • Stoke outshot Sunderland 15-8 on their visit to the Stadium of Light last weekend but failed to pile more pressure on Michael Beale as they left empty-handed following a 3-1 defeat.
  • A strong unbeaten run has been followed up with back-to-back defeats, and Steven Schumacher's men would do well to avoid another here.
  • Leicester were hardly challenged when Swansea visited the King Power Stadium in midweek as the Foxes followed up a 3-0 FA Cup win against Birmingham with a 3-1 league win against Luke Williams' side.
  • Enzo Maresca's side are now ten points clear at the top of the Championship and 11 clear of third-placed Southampton, albeit having played a game more than their rivals.
