Preview: Stoke City vs. Crystal Palace

Sports Mole previews this weekend's league clash between Stoke City and Crystal Palace at the Britannia.

Stoke City were denied a late equaliser against Liverpool in their opening Premier League fixture of the season, but the Potters have a home advantage this weekend when they take on Crystal Palace.

Mark Hughes is yet to get his first win of the campaign as Stoke boss following his arrival in the summer, replacing long-standing manager Tony Pulis.

Similar to Stoke's poor start, this weekend's visitors began their season in the top flight with defeat to Chelsea, which resulted in manager Ian Holloway being charged by the Football Association for his comments regarding the match officials.

Asmir Begovic is expected to start in goal for the home side following his impressive performance at Anfield last weekend, with Peter Crouch leading the line.

Holloway could keep Dwight Gayle up front, with Marouane Chamakh placed on the bench.
