Stoke sit in the play-off places after a strong start to the season
Wrexham are 18th in the Championship table, four points above the drop zone
Recommended bet: Draw
Stoke have made a promising start to the Championship season to put themselves in the early promotion mix and they now face a Wrexham side who are competing well on their first English second-tier campaign since 1982.
The Potters have stumbled over the last month, losing one and drawing three of their last four matches, while the Red Dragons are on a five-game unbeaten run in all competitions.

Team news
Stoke remain without the services of defender Bosun Lawal, who has missed the last two matches with a hamstring injury, while Bae Jun-ho is doubtful after returning home early from South Korea's U22 camp because of a shoulder problem.
Sam Gallagher and Lewis Baker are both dealing with calf issues and will need to be assessed closer to kick-off.
Wrexham are missing the quartet of Danny Ward, Andy Cannon, Harry Ashfield and Jay Rodriguez, while Liberato Cacace is unlikely to be available despite getting closer to a first-team return.
There is better news on Ollie Rathbone and George Thomason, who are both in contention to make the matchday squad.
The stats
After collecting 12 points from the first 15 on offer, Stoke have picked up just three points from the last 12 available.
The Potters have drawn their last three matches, sharing the spoils with Norwich (1-1), Middlesbrough (0-0) and Blackburn (1-1).
Wrexham lost two and drew one of their opening three Championship assignments, but they have started to hit their stride over the last month and enter this contest on a five-game unbeaten run in all competitions.
The Red Dragons are unbeaten in their last four away games, winning two and drawing two.
Wrexham have recorded 1-1 draws in their last three outings against Derby, Leicester and Birmingham.

Prediction
Stoke have started to falter after jumping out of the blocks quickly and, although they are not losing games, three draws in a row shows they are struggling to put teams away.
The same can be said for Wrexham when it comes to a lack of attacking edge, as they have also shared the spoils in their last three matches, but they are unbeaten in five games and confidence is building.
Another draw would not be the worst result for either team and given goals have not been plentiful for either side of late, it is unlikely there will be many clear-cut opportunities to find the back of the net.
