As for Luton, they are set to be without the services of Sonny Bradley, Jordan Clark and Luke Berry due to injury problems. Jed Steer made his league debut for the Hatters on Saturday, and the goalkeeper is set to keep his place in the side for Wednesday's encounter. After dropping down to the bench for the Birmingham City contest, Henri Lansbury could return to the Luton starting lineup. Stoke City possible starting lineup:Bursik; Wilmot, Jagielka, Harwood-Bellis, Tymon; Baker, Allen, Clucas; Philogene-Bidace, Campbell, Brown Luton Town possible starting lineup:Steer; Lockyer, Osho, Naismith; Bree, Campbell, Mpanzu, Bell; Lansbury, Jerome, Adebayo We say: Stoke City 1-0 Luton Town Although Luton are enjoying a positive run of form, they tend to struggle against the Potters, with Stoke winning four of the last five meetings between the sides, and we think that the hosts will edge out the Hatters in a cagey contest on Wednesday.

Match preview © Reuters Despite sitting in 13th position, Stoke will believe that they are in the hunt for a playoff place with six points separating them from the top six. Although they have avoided defeat in their previous four league outings, the Potters will be frustrated that four of those contests have ended level. At the weekend, the Potters played host to Birmingham City, and it was the visitors who hit the front in the 12th minute courtesy of Jordan James's opener before Tyrese Campbell restored parity to ensure that the encounter was level at the break. The 22-year-old was celebrating his second goal of the contest just after half time to give Stoke the lead, but Gary Gardner's equaliser ensured for the second game in a row that the Potters would play out a 2-2 draw. Michael O'Neill's side will now turn their attention to a home fixture on Wednesday and with 10 of Stoke's 16 home games having been level at the interval, the majority of the action may take place in the second half.

Nathan Jones will face his former side when he takes his Luton Town team to the bet365 Stadium for a Championship contest against Stoke City. Both sides enter the contest in a rich vein of form, with the hosts unbeaten in their last five games in all competitions, while the Hatters have lost just once in their previous seven competitive matches.
Meanwhile, Luton are firmly in the hunt for the playoffs as the Hatters sit in eighth place - two points adrift of the top six.
