Stoke City, Recent FormStoke City were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 0-0 draw against Birmingham City. They came away from that fixture with 67% of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 1 on target. By comparison, Birmingham City managed 7 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.
Alex Neil will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 9 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 5 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. With no goals in 3 of their last 6 matches at home, they are showing signs of a problem finding the net at their home ground. Neil will be unhappy that his team have failed to keep a clean sheet in so many home games, having conceded in 14 of their 20 this season.
Stoke will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
Ki-Jana Hoever will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Stoke City.
West Bromwich Albion, Recent FormWest Bromwich Albion manager Carlos Corberán will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Queens Park Rangers. Their share of possession in that meeting was 57%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target. Queens Park Rangers had 14 shots on goal with 2 on target.
It's fair to say that Corberán will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 6 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 2-0 win for West Bromwich Albion.
The West Brom defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit The Potters in the league, with West Brom conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings. Playing away from home, West Brom have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against Stoke. Playing away from home, West Brom have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Stoke.
There is only really one injury concern for the Stoke manager Alex Neil ahead of this clash, with Matija Šarkić (Muscle) missing out, which gives Neil a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Carlos Corberán has a number of injury concerns in his West Brom squad to contend with: Grady Diangana (Foot), Dara O'Shea (Knee) and Matt Phillips (Muscle)
