West Bromwich Albion host Stoke City on Saturday in the Premier League.

Two of the Premier League's in-form sides clash at The Hawthorns on Saturday as Stoke City travel to West Bromwich Albion.

West Brom were halted on their run of four straight league wins on Wednesday night as they went down 3-1 away to Swansea City.

Stoke are unbeaten in four games and have won their previous two, at home to Fulham and most recently Newcastle United. However they have struggled away from home and have yet to win on the road.

For the visitors, Peter Crouch could miss out after his painful face injury against Newcastle and Tony Pulis might be tempted to find a place for substitute Cameron Jerome, who hit the late winner.

Steve Clarke will be troubled by his defence against Swansea, but will not want to change too much in a side that has 12 points from 15.
