Stoke City face a trip to Fulham at Craven Cottage at lunchtime on Saturday, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Potters will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Craven Cottage was just last season, in February 2012, the Cottagers carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Premier League match.
