Stoke City’s busy schedule continues with a third consecutive mid-week game that will test the team’s strength as one of the seven EFL members remaining in the FA Cup round of 16. Today’s hosts can reach the quarterfinals of this tournament for the first time since the 2011/12 season. The hosts have chances, as the team, after moving to the Championship, won four out of seven fights against representatives of the elite championship. In the draw of the second most powerful tournament in the country, the Red-Blues have 11 victories and seven peaceful outcomes after 34 rounds, which corresponds to 40 points and 17th position in the standings. Tuanbese, Taimon, Powell and Klukas, who has a back injury, will not be able to play
Brighton received a day off in the last round of the Premier League, while the preparation for the game was led by the head coach, whose ban after a red card in the game against Fulham (0:1) could be carried over to the next round of the Premier League. The wards of Roberto de Zerbi are the main contenders for reaching the next round, given the fact that the Seagulls knocked out Liverpool (2:1) and the representative of the top six of the Championship Middlesbrough (5:1) in the previous stages. Only one fact is alarming. In Stoke, the guests last won 60 years ago. In the infirmary of guests are Welbeck, Modre, Lalana, Gilmour and Colville, who has a muscle injury.
