Mark Hughes made a lot of changes for the 5-0 defeat at Chelsea. He played a weakened side at Stamford Bridge and the big names will come back in here. Kurt Zouma was ineligible last time out and should start this game. Glen Johnson, Ryan Shawcross, Erik Pieters and Jese are all doubts for the home side.

Stoke City v Newcastle United Predictions

Mark Hughes was under a lot of pressure after a run of bad results, but this was ended with a 3-1 home victory against West Bromwich Albion. They will be hoping for something similar against Newcastle United on New Years Day. They have plenty of attacking talent such as Xherdan Shaqiri, Mame Biram Diuof and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.

Newcastle United have been on an extremely bad run recently too, though they did beat West Ham away from home. The Magpies put in a defensive shift against Manchester City but eventually fell to a 1-0 defeat.

These two sides will both be desperate for a win, and that may mean they cancel each other out. The tip is for a draw, with a 1-1 Correct Score looking decent value.
