Stoke City v Huddersfield Town
Stoke City v Huddersfield Town: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

Stoke City need the fabled new manager bounce as they fight to remain in the top flight for a 10th successive season. Alex Pritchard made an impact from the bench on his home debut for Huddersfield and will be looking to expose Stoke’s porous defence. The home side have the worst goal difference in the league, while the visitors have fared only marginally better on that front. Both managers will therefore see this as a winnable game.
