Stoke City will host Norwich City at the bet365 Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Championship campaign.
The home side have endured a difficult campaign but remain hopeful of avoiding the drop as the regular season runs to an end. They picked up a hard-fought but well-deserved 2-1 win over Preston North End last time out and had looked set to be headed toward a point before Luke McNally scored a late winner.
Stoke City sit 19th in the Championship standings with 41 points from 37 games. They are just three points above the drop zone and will look to widen that gap here.
Norwich City are playing well at the moment and continue their push for playoff football. They thrashed last-placed Rotherham United 5-0 in their last match with four different players getting on the scoresheet including Gabriel Sara, who netted a brace.
The visitors sit sixth in the league table with 58 points picked up so far and will be looking to add to the tally come Saturday.

Stoke City vs Norwich City Prediction
Stoke have won two of their last three games after losing six of their seven games prior. However, they have won just twice on home turf since last November and could struggle here.
Norwich have lost just one of their last eight league games and come into this one in good form. Despite their recent struggles on the road, the Canaries are the better side ahead of the weekend clash and should come out on top here.
