Stoke return after the international break looking for a good reaction from the 3-0 loss to Fulham before the break.

Stoke & Huddersfield have been humbled by Fulham so far this season cementing their place as the team to beat this season.

Huddersfield look a different prospect from the sides in previous seasons. New manager Carlos Corberán has changed their style and are creating a fair few chances to win games.

How have we faired in previous meetings.

Saturday’s fixture will be the 79th meeting between the two sides

Stoke wins 30

Draws 26

Huddersfield wins 22

The last meeting

The last meeting between the sides was back in January, the game ended 1-1 in a game played at the John Smiths stadium without any fans due to Covid.

The last game at the bet365 stadium between the two sides was a much more lively affair, Stoke win the game 4-3. Pity Tyrese Campbell won’t be fit to play this weekend as he does love scoring a brace against Huddersfield.

Form (last 4 games)

Stoke

Swansea 1-3 Stoke

Stoke 1-0 Forest

Stoke 2-0 Doncaster (cup)

Fulham 3-0 Stoke

Huddersfield 

Huddersfield 1-0 Preston

Sheff United 1-2 Huddersfield 

Huddersfield 1-2 Everton (cup)

Huddersfield 4-0 Reading

Huddersfield sit one place above Stoke in the league table in 5th place. They have a plus 2 goal difference where as Stoke’s heavy loss to Fulham puts us back to a plus 1 GD.

Who’s the threat

Huddersfield’s main threat so far this season has come from the right wing. Sorba Thomas has been on fire so far, scoring once and assisting 4 league goals

How could Stoke set up for the game.

Still a question on the fitness of Nick Powell, but his inclusion would be the only difference to this side in place of Clucas I’d of thought
