Wednesday’s loss proved to be something of a missed opportunity for Preston, who could have climbed into the top five with a win over Bristol City but the visit of Stoke starts a run of four games against teams in the bottom half of the table, so there will be further opportunities to progress.
Jordan Storey is likely to return for Preston having served a suspension but they are without Troy Parrot through injury, until at least December.
It’s a trip back to Deepdale for Alex Neil, who is still yet to convince as manager of Stoke since moving from Sunderland and despite a surprise win over Sheffield United on Saturday, they have yet to string together a run of results to move them out of the bottom half of the table.
Liam Delap’s goalscoring impact off the bench is likely to be rewarded with a start – at the expense of Dwight Gayle – as Stoke look to record back-to-back wins for the first time since April.
