The Potters have earned four points since Narcis Pelach took over as manager following Steven Schumacher’s departure last month. Currently sitting in 17th place with 10 points after nine games, Stoke City are looking to improve their position.
**Stoke City Team News**
According to StokeOnTrentLive, striker Sam Gallagher is expected to miss the upcoming match against Norwich City due to a hamstring injury. Additionally, Bosun Lawal will undergo a fitness test, while Ben Pearson and Lynden Gooch remain sidelined.
**Predicted Starting XI**
Goalkeeper Viktor Johansson, who joined from Rotherham United this summer, has impressed since his arrival. The back four of Ben Wilmot, Michael Rose, Ben Gibson, and Eric Bocat is likely to remain unchanged after keeping a clean sheet against Swansea City.
In midfield, Brighton loanee Andy Moran and Wouter Burger will aim to control play. Lewis Koumas, Bae Jun-Ho, and Million Manhoef are expected to form the attacking trio, looking to create opportunities against Norwich City.
Up front, Tom Cannon is likely to start again, with Gallagher out injured. Cannon, on loan from Leicester City, scored four goals in Stoke’s last home game against Portsmouth and will hope to continue his form. The former Everton striker played a key role in Leicester’s promotion to the Premier League last season under Enzo Maresca, now at Chelsea.
