Preview

Stoke scored twice before the hour mark in gameweek seven as they left Vicarage Road with all three points following their clash with Watford. The Potters have finally found their rhythm under Mark Robins and head into this contest having picked up 10 points from the last 12 available.

Sheffield United were heading for a point at home against recently relegated Wolves last time out before Raul Jimenez's 90th-minute strike broke the deadlock. Chris Wilder's men are unbeaten on the road this season in the league but face a tough test at the bet365 Stadium.
