Stoke played well until the end of October. They finished this month in 11th place.

Since then, Stoke have suffered a number of problems and have fallen to 19th place.

Still seven points clear of the relegation zone, the Staffordshire side need a win soon to regain confidence.

Stoke have won just one of their last 12 games. In their last game, they drew 0-0 at home with Ipswich.

The match was pretty even, so it wouldn’t be surprising if both teams shared the points.

Stoke are struggling but have a big game against Brighton on Saturday, a chance to change the course of their season.

Brighton are having a good season this year. Brighton could once again be in contention for a place in the European Cup, as they currently sit seventh in the Premier League.

However, Roberto de Zerbi’s side have not impressed of late, winning just one of their last four games.

The previous match was an away match against West Ham 0-0. Although the visiting team had 68% of the possession and took 16 more shots than the home team, Brighton were unlucky not to score and could only take home one point.

Stoke City vs. Brighton Head to head

Both sides have four games against each other with each side taking one win and two draws.

Brighton Team News

Brighton’s list of missing players is even longer, but given the depth of their squad, Brighton should still have no problem fielding a strong squad.

De Zerbi’s side will be without Solomon March, Tariq Lamptey, Igor, Simon Adingra, Kaoru Mitoma, Joel Veltman, Julio Enciso and Ansu Fati. Combined with the game against Stoke, we might also see Brighton playing with players who haven’t had much of a chance recently.
