Four players are vying for recall in Stoke City’s projected Coventry squad.

This Saturday, Stoke City will return to live television when

Mark Robins leads his team against Coventry.

In front of the Sky Sports cameras, Stoke hopes to improve on a home

Robins is hoping to be helped by the fullest squad he has had since taking over on New Year’s Day.

As the manager attempts to find the ideal balance between experience and energy,

solidity and creativity, Wouter Burger (knee), Lewis Baker (illness),

Million Manhoef (illness), and Sam Gallagher, who has been gaining fitness,

are arguably pushing the hardest to make the starting XI on Saturday (12.30pm).

Hopefully, Ben Pearson survived his first full game in sixteen months,

and Robins will need to consider how best to balance him with Jordan Thompson,

who made Stoke more difficult to beat against Watford,

but who will be vying for the same spot as fellow left-footer

Burger unless the latter is moved into a more attacking role where

Andrew Moran has been used. Baker is an alternative at number ten,

and Gallagher could be used as a second striker.
