Four Stokies, including JoeinOz, look ahead to Sunday's match here. I think Hughes will play Butland, Johnson, Wilson, Muniesa, Pieters, Whelan, van Ginkel, Adam, Walters, Arnautovic, Diouf.

Just watching the Premier league highlights from 2011/2012 (on Sky) and just how important James Milner was for Man City.
I see him as our major concern for tomorrow, who do you think will be marking him / closing him down?

Past few seasons for this fixture at the Brit, been loads of goals.
Hoping the same, with a Stoke win!

No Wilson, no shawcross, no arnie I think we'll really struggle
Butland Cameron Muniesa Wollschied Pieters Whelan Van ginkel Walters Adam Affely Diouf
Wollschied is awful but I'd rather have him start than Johnson because Johnson doesn't look fit at all. I would have put bardsley at right back and Cameron at center back but bardsley hasn't played at all in pre season so I'm not sure about him. To be totally honest, with no shawcross, arnie or Wilson I think we'll lose 1-3 our defence is too weak

To be totally honest, with no shawcross, arnie or Wilson I think we'll lose 1-3 our defence is too weak \ I agree with the team as the most likely, based on the injury news coming out of the club. Yes, I also worry about Benteke bullying our centre backs, but they have new players settling in as well, and will not be firing on all cylinders. I can see a 1-1 draw and we both move on, no harm done. I hope we can also give Bojan and Wingy (for Adam and Affelay) the last 30 minutes, to get more game time under their belts in their recovery.

So, Affelay has to go on the left wing? It illustrates how desperate we are for wingers. A real shame Arnie won't feature.

We haven't kicked a ball in anger and we are already hampered by injuries.

Great news that we prepared so well over the summer so when the next level players are injured others can step in.
We are one not far off ( probably one of two knocks ) a front three of
Walters. Crouch odemwinge
Not exactly ideal for our counter attacking approach

You don't think Charlie will start? No chance. The guy is at best an option from the bench to provide an impact. Far to unfit to play 45 mins. Yes, as I recall Adam was crap when we stuffed Liverpool 6-1 in our last league match. Give the bloke some credit FFS.

I'm hoping for a draw, Stoke ain't ready yet and there's the revenge factor.
Whatever people say about our current transfer window it will all be put to bed one way or the other after the first 3-4 games. If we lose all of them questions will be harder to answer right through the club.

Arnie hasn't been ruled out has he? People are talking as if he has, Hughes says we hope he plays but won't take risks, so he is not definitely out.

Arnie is out, he cannot drive and has not trained all week, no chance he will be fit enough. Wilson has missed training all week, today was his first training session

There could be another reason why he ain't driving, he could of been banned but think it's to do with his injury. Only training he has done is with the physio all week

Wilson has missed training all week, today was his first training session If that's the case it will probably be Afellay on the left or even Diouf on the wing with Joselu up front, i hope the first option. Although, if Arnie was definitely out like you say Hughes would have just said so, wouldn't he? If he isn't 100% though, better not to risk him.
