Stoke City vs Hull: 

Mark Hughes isn't pulling any punches tonight. Currently sat bottom of the Premier League with just the one point, Stoke have endured a dreadful start to the season. Hopefully they can remedy some of their woes with an impressive cup run as they line up against Hull. Big-guns Wilfried Bony and Marko Arnautović both start.
