After picking up their first win of the season against Sunderland, Stoke City take on Hull City away from home.
Stoke City finally got their season underway last week against Sunderland, picking up their first win thanks to two goals from Joe Allen.
While the result did not lift them out of the bottom three for long, it will certainly have boosted the confidence of Mark Hughes and his players, who now face a trip to struggling Hull City.
As they search for back-to-back wins, how will Stoke line up on Saturday?
Lee Grant has been impressive in the Stoke goal and will keep his place, likely with the same back four as the Sunderland game in which they kept their first clean sheet of the season, meaning that Phil Bardsley will continue at right-back while Bruno Martins Indi will partner captain Ryan Shawcross at centre-back.
The two holding midfielders should be Glenn Whelan and Geoff Cameron again, who supplied a solid base to allow the attacking players to flourish.
With Allen in such sensational form playing as an advanced midfielder, it would be criminal to move him. Therefore Bojan will have wait for his chance on the bench, with Xherdan Shaqiri and Marko Arnautovic flanking the Welshman.
Up front it will be the misfiring Wilfried Bony, who is still searching for his first goal in Stoke colours. While the Ivorian is yet to start firing since joining the club on loan, he need not worry if Allen continues his form in front of goal.
