Premier League preview – Stoke vs West Brom
Stoke have recently transformed from a long ball side with a focus on purely maintaining their Premier league status containing a plethora of champions league winners, securing major coups of Affelay and Shaqiri in the summer transfer window and will be hoping that this attacking talent combined with Diouf and Arnautovic will be hoping to get their first win of the 15/16 season,
West Brom have been leaking goals so far this season, having only picked up 1 point from 3 games and with a goal difference of -4 currently sit bottom of the Premier League, Tony Pulis has a reputation for keeping teams solid defensively focusing on team sheets, especially away from home but they will now be relying on the strength and creativity of new £15m man Rondon to lead the line.
