Stoke City team news vs West Brom as Liverpool kid makes full league debut
Bae Junho and Lewis Koumas come into the Stoke City starting XI against West Bromwich Albion.
Junho starts his first game of the season following a calf injury while it's a first league start for Koumas, who has joined on loan from Liverpool. They replace Wouter Burger and Emre Tezgel in the side that lost at Watford while new boy Ash Phillips is named among the subs.
Steven Schumacher could go with various options, from a 4-2-3-1 to a 3-4-3, which could see Lynden Gooch on the right of midfield and Eric Bocat on the left with Junior Tchamadeu joining Ben Wilmot and Ben Gibson in the back line.
