CONFIRMED : Sam Gallagher OUT Ahead of Swansea City v Stoke City as team news and predicted XI revealed

Stoke City enter into the game full of confidence on the back of their 6-1 win over Portsmouth last time out at the Bet365 Stadium. Tom Cannon, a Leicester City loanee, scored four goals against John Mousinho’s team in addition to goals from Andy Moran and Sam Gallagher.

When the Potters decided to part ways with Steven Schumacher last month, they looked to former Norwich City and Huddersfield Town number two Narcis Pelach as their new manager. His first two games in command were losses, one at home to Hull City and the other away to Middlesbrough.

The Staffordshire team needs to start improving right now in order to move up the league standings. After eight games this season, they are now six points outside of the play-offs in 15th place.

Predicted XI

Johansson; Wilmot, Rose, Gibson, Stevens; Moran, Burger; Koumas, Bae; Gallagher, Cannon

 

Stoke City signed Viktor Johansson from Rotherham United over the summer to bolster their goalkeeping department and he will keep his place between the sticks.
