Team News

Stoke
Derby
  • Narcis Pelach could make two changes to the side that faced Sheffield United with Bae Jun-Ho and Tatsuki Seko stepping into the starting XI.
  • Sam Gallagher's return is further out than first expected, while three other players are missing for Stoke this weekend.
  • Paul Warne may recall left-back Callum Elder and central midfielder Ben Osborn for the trip to the bet365 Stadium this weekend.
  • David Ozoh and Tom Barkhuizen are both closing in on returns to action, although this game could come too soon for them.

Prediction

  • Stoke were no match for Sheffield United last weekend as goals from Tyrese Campbell and Kieffer Moore condemned the Potters to a 2-0 away defeat. Narcis Pelach's side are now winless in four league games and a 3-2 midweek Carabao Cup defeat to Premier League side Southampton has done little to improve the mood in the home camp.
  • Derby were behind for just nine minutes against Hull last weekend as substitute Dajaune Brown helped the Rams recover a point in front of the Pride Park faithful. Paul Warne's men are now unbeaten in their last four Championship outings, although they are still searching for their first away league win of the season.
