Stoke City take on Hully City at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday afternoon as the hosts aim to bounce back from their defeat last weekend.

The hosts currently sit in 5th position in the table with 14 points on board after 8 Championship games as they have made an impressive start to their season, but their recent form has been a bit turbulent.

In the EFL Cup, Stoke City come into this fixture on the back of a 3-1 win away from home over Premier League club, Watford as goals from Nick Powell, Josh Tymon and substitute, Samuel Raymond Clucas sealed their progress in the next round.

In the Championship, Stoke City come into this fixture on the back of a 2-1 loss away from home against Derby County. In that game, Stoke had 68% of ball possession as they had 13 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. Tom Ince grabbed a 58th minute goal to cut the deficit, but, Stoke could not seal a comeback.

On the other hand, the visitors, Hully City currently sit in 22nd position in the Championship table with just 5 points on board after 8 games. The visitors are clearly struggling to get points and they are in a spot of bother when they travel to the Britannia Stadium as they face a well-balanced squad.
