Since being relegated from the Premier League, Stoke have yet to finish above 14th in the Championship. Ambitions will be higher after a summer of big-spending but the outcome may very well be the same.

However, his Stoke career is set to get off to a nightmare start, with his former employers likely to enjoy Saturday’s trip to the Potteries.
Swansea have been one of the Championship’s best teams since Vitor Matos replaced Alan Sheehan as manager, losing just 11 of their 31 games under the Portuguese, and they can start the new campaign with a bang.
