West Bromwich Albion is preparing for their third match of the EFL Championship season against Stoke City, aiming to build on their strong start with four points from two games. Coach Carlos Corberan has welcomed back attackers Jed Wallace and Grady Diangana, though neither is likely to start due to fitness recovery from injuries. The upcoming international break is seen as an opportunity for players like Wallace and Diangana to further enhance their fitness alongside new signings such as Uros Racic, who is not yet ready to play but will begin training with the team. Daryl Dike remains sidelined with an Achilles injury, not expected to return until the New Year. Stoke City enters the match with mixed form, having lost their opener but secured a win against Coventry, aiming to improve their position in the league. The Baggies hope to solidify their top-six standings with a win, while Stoke looks to climb into the Championship's upper half.
