Viktor Johansson has made a positive impression since joining Stoke City this past summer from Rotherham United following the Millers’ relegation to League One.
The backline of Ben Wilmot, Michael Rose, Ben Gibson and Eric Bocat should stay the same. They kept a clean sheet at Swansea City last time out and will be hoping for the same again against Norwich City.
In midfield, Brighton and Hove Albion loanee Andy Moran and Wouter Burger will look to pull the strings in the middle of the park for the Potters.

Lewis Koumas, Bae Jun-Ho and Million Manhoef are likely to get the nod in their attacking department and the trio will be eager to cause some problems for the Canaries.
Tom Cannon is likely to get the nod up front again with Gallagher expected to be injured. The Leicester City loanee scored four in Stoke City’s last home game against Portsmouth and will want to add to his tally.
He was brought in by the Staffordshire outfit late in the last transfer window to add more quality to their striking options. The former Everton man helped the Foxes gain promotion to the Premier League last term under the guidance of Enzo Maresca, who has since moved on to Chelsea.
