Stoke City team news and predicted XI to face Norwich City
Stoke City will face Norwich City in a Championship match at the Bet365 Stadium this weekend. The Potters are coming off a 0-0 draw against Swansea City in their last game before the international break. Since Narcis Pelach took over as manager, Stoke City has earned four points and currently sits in 17th place in the table with 10 points from nine matches.
However, Stoke City will likely be without striker Sam Gallagher due to a hamstring injury for the match against Norwich City. There are also doubts over Bosun Lawal’s availability, while Ben Pearson and Lynden Gooch remain sidelined. The Stoke City starting XI is expected to include new signing Viktor Johansson in goal, along with defenders Ben Wilmot, Michael Rose, Ben Gibson, and Eric Bocat. In midfield, Andy Moran and Wouter Burger will look to control play, while Lewis Koumas, Bae Jun-Ho, and Million Manhoef are expected to lead the attack.
Tom Cannon is likely to start up front in place of the injured Sam Gallagher. Cannon, who is on loan from Leicester City, scored four goals in Stoke City’s last home game and will be looking to continue his impressive form. Cannon was brought in to add quality to Stoke City’s striking options and has experience playing under Enzo Maresca, who led Leicester City to promotion last season and is now at Chelsea. The Potters will be hoping for another strong defensive performance as they look to secure a positive result against Norwich City.
