Following the giddiness brought by their impressive summer signings, the season has not quite started as planned for Stoke, yet there is no sense of panic despite being winless. When will Leicester’s surge slow? Claudio Ranieri’s side continued their fine start by coming from 2-0 down to beat Aston Villa and will be confident on Saturday. Last year’s meetings were both decided by a single goal. Alan Smith
