Saturday’s Premier League action kicks off at the Bet 365 Stadium where Stoke City take on Leicester City.

The hosts bounced back from back-to-back defeats with a 1-0 win at Watford last weekend – a result which saw them edge away from the relegation zone while another three points here will lift them, even if only temporarily into the top half of the table.

Captain Ryan Shawcross has been nursing a thigh problem which is set to see him miss out along with Geoff Cameron though Bruno Martins Indi, Peter Crouch and Glen Johnson are all available.

Crouch is priced at 7.0 (6/1) to get the first goal of the game with Bet 365 while Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting can be backed at 8.0 (7/1) with the same firm.

The home win is priced at 2.75 (7/4) with Betfred with the visitors as highly priced as the 2.88 (15/8) on offer from a variety of bookmakers. The draw can be backed at 3.35 (40/17) with Unibet.

Claude Puel began his tenure as Leicester manager with a convincing win over struggling Everton last time out – a result that extended their unbeaten league run to four games and took them to within a point of the top ten.

Victory here would see them move up into eighth place while a point would put them above tenth place Southampton on goal difference, with the Saints hosting Burnley later in the day.

Ben Chilwell is struggling with a knee problem which could see him sidelined alongside Robert Huth and Matty James.

Top scorer Jamie Vardy is favourite to open the scoring at 6.5 (11/2) with Sky Bet while Islam Slimani can be backed at 7.5 (13/2) with Bet 365.

Last season’s corresponding fixture ended all square with ten-man Leicester coming from two down to salvage a point while Stoke have on just one of the six Premier League meetings between the sides.

You can back both teams to score this time around at 1.8 (4/5) with Betfair while the same company offer 2.05 (21/10) for there to be over 2.5 goals in the game.
