Since their return to the Premier League in the 2008-09 season, Stoke City have proven to be quite a formidable Premier League side.
While the squad and manager heavily differ from the squad that gained promotion seven years ago, Stoke continues to be one of the trickier Premier League teams to come up against.
Currently, under the management of Mark Hughes Stoke City have undergone plenty of changes since the Englishman took the role in 2013.
Stoke has moved from Tony Pulis roots of defensive direct football to a new brand of free-flowing football which led to them finishing ninth last season.
