Stoke City will welcome Millwall to the Bet365 Stadium for an EFL Championship matchday 34 fixture on Saturday.
The hosts come into the game on the back of a 3-1 comeback away victory over Swansea City on Tuesday. Morgan Whittaker gave the Swans an early lead in the second minute, but Josh Laurent scored a quickfire brace to put his side ahead by the 19th minute. Lewis Baker stepped off the bench to score in injury time and help the Potters leave Wales with maximum points.
Millwall also came from behind to snatch a point in a 1-1 draw against Burnley on home turf. Ashley Barnes put the Clarets ahead with his second goal in as many matches in the 51st minute. Tom Bradshaw's 18-minute cameo in the second half saw him score the equalizer in the 85th minute.
The draw saw the Lions drop to fifth spot with 50 points to show for their efforts in 32 games. Stoke City sit in 17th spot, having garnered 40 points from 33 matches.
