Watford V Stoke City: Preview

Stoke City head to Vicarage Road with confidence growing after a difficult start to the Championship season. Mark Robins’ side have responded impressively to three consecutive defeats, collecting seven points from their last three league matches.

A 1-0 win over Norwich City and a commanding 4-0 victory against Charlton Athletic were followed by a hard-earned 1-1 draw away at Cardiff City, ending a run of nine successive away defeats.

The Potters will now look to carry that momentum into a Watford side sitting just one point above them in the table.
