Stoke City welcome Coventry City to the bet365 Stadium as the two teams kick off their Championship campaigns this weekend.

The Potters have failed to finish in the top half of the Championship table since relegation from the Premier League in 2018 and last season's 17th place represented their worst effort of the lot.

A lack of goals plagued Stoke in 2023/24 and head coach Steven Schumacher, who took the managerial reins last December, has signed Sam Gallagher from Blackburn, but the 28-year-old striker is a fitness doubt for the opener.

Coventry were a penalty shootout away from promotion in the 2022/23 season and posted a respectable ninth-place finish as a late slump saw them miss out on the play-offs last term.

Playmaker Callum O'Hare has departed but manager Mark Robins – in his eighth full season in the Sky Blues dugout – has splashed the cash on Sweden international goalkeeper Oliver Dovin, midfielder Jack Rudoni and forward Brandon Thomas-Asante, while defender Luis Binks has returned on a permanent basis.
