West Brom against Stoke is not exactly a prospect to set the hearts of neutral football fans racing but nonetheless it's a fixture that has added significance for Potters fans.
To call it a grudge match wouldn't be entirely accurate but while there will always be fond respect for the job former manager Tony Pulis did, some of his behaviour in meetings since then has been questionable.
With his brand of football historically seen as the antithesis to Mark Hughes' own exciting approach (remember that?) it's always a curious contest and one that, sadly, Pulis has enjoyed the better of since his departure.
