Team News

Plymouth
Stoke
  • Daniel Grimshaw, Kornel Szucs and Michael Obafemi could all make their full league debuts when Stoke visit Home Park on Saturday.
  • Adam Forshaw served his suspension on Tuesday night, but forward Frederick Issaka remains unavailable for selection.
  • Steven Schumacher was impressed by the contributions of Andy Moran against Middlesbrough, so expect him to start in the league on Saturday.
  • The Potters will once again be without four first-team players when they take to the field at Home Park.

Prediction

  • Plymouth produced a spirited performance against QPR, playing over 70 minutes with 10 men after Adam Forshaw's early red card, before Frederick Issaka reduced them to nine in stoppage time.
  • That result was a critical one for Wayne Rooney, although a 2-0 midweek defeat to Watford in the Carabao Cup was not ideal preparation for this clash.
  • Stoke produced a statement result on Tuesday night - albeit against a heavily-rotated Middlesbrough side - as they cruised to a 5-0 away win at the Riverside Stadium in the Carabao Cup.
  • In the league, Steven Schumacher's men have been less impressive, following up an opening-day triumph with back-to-back defeats.
