Stoke should bounce back against injury-hit Hammers
Premier League
Stoke are under pressure to respond after last Saturday's 2-0 loss at Swansea and are likely to deliver a better performance and a victory against injury-hit West Ham.
Slaven Bilic went to three at the back against Everton last week and got a committed performance and fully merited 0-0 draw.
However, it is hard to see where West Ham's goals are coming from and they might come unstuck against a Stoke side stung by their defeat in south Wales.
