Narcis Pelach picked a fantastic lineup for the Hull City match

There were not many surprises for this game, as most of the players who have featured in the early part of the season have earned their spots through strong performances. While Stoke City did not get off to the best start in the EFL Championship, several players have stepped up and established themselves as key pieces of the squad, some even earning call-ups for their national teams.

We saw how Viktor Johansson not only became a starter for Stoke City but also secured a place in Sweden’s national team. Additionally, Million Manhoef has been a shining star for the team, along with Lewis Koumas. For this game, a crucial Stoke City victory was expected.

Hull City came into the match without much momentum in the domestic competition, having lost their last two matches. Playing at home, The Potters were aiming for victory, hoping to score multiple goals and make Pelach’s debut a memorable one. All eyes were on the 11 players chosen by the Catalan coach.

There are high expectations for the team to respond in the best possible way, and for Stoke City to score several goals in what has been a rather dry spell for them in the EFL Championship. This match is undoubtedly crucial for the team.
