Stoke City play host to Fulham at the bet365 Stadium for round 28 of the SkyBet Championship.

After spending most of their time amongst the top ten ranks, they risked it all by losing all their momentum. Michael O'Neill's side bounced back from it momentarily last week against Hull City. They are fortunate to have games in hand by still clinging to that 8th position.

Containing Fulham would prove to be a gargantuan challenge for any side in the Championship due to their blistering form. Though Marco Silva's side has faced two spells of disappointing periods, they now are back to their best. The Cottagers are scoring remarkably and are five points clear at the top.

Fulham has won three out of their last five league games. Interestingly in those three games, the side has scored 19 goals and conceded four. The Potters have won and lost two with a draw in their last five games. It will be difficult for Stoke's backline to contain the oppositional's offense which has been nothing short of phenomenal.

Aleksandar Mitrovic has scored 27 goals and recorded seven assists. It has made the Serbian the league's top scorer. Moreover, Harry Wilson has scored eight and assisted ten goals making him top the assist charts.

For O'Neill, the gap to the playoffs now stands at four points. The Potters can ill-afford any more slip-ups on the back of a rough patch, but Fulham will provide them little to no scope to extend on their recent victory in this contest.

Starting with the hosts, they have Harry Souttar, Jordan Thompson, Josef Bursik, Nick Powell, and Romaine Sawyers are out with injuries. The visitors will lack the services of Ivan Cavaleiro due to injury, while Jean Michaël Seri is out due to his international duties for AFCON.
