Team News

Stoke
Portsmouth
  • Sam Gallagher returned to the bench for the match against Middlesbrough and could start on the right against Portsmouth.
  • Centre-back Ashley Phillips is among four confirmed absentees for the Potters on Wednesday night.
  • John Mousinho could make a couple of changes for the trip to the bet365 Stadium in midweek with Harvey Blair and Christian Saydee stepping into the starting XI.
  • Conor Shaughnessy, Callum Lang and Kusini Yengi are all set to miss this gameweek eight fixture.

Prediction

  • Stoke were outshot 26-7 by an injury-hit Middlesbrough side on Saturday as goals from Ben Doak and Hayden Hackney condemned the Potters to a 2-0 away defeat. Narcis Pelach has endured a difficult start to life in the dugout, losing both of his first two games in charge of Wednesday night's hosts.
  • Portsmouth produced one of their most impressive performances of the season at the weekend as they held an unbeaten Sheffield United side to a goalless draw at Fratton Park. Pompey are, however, one of just two sides still waiting for their first league win of the season heading into gameweek eight.
