New Stoke boss Alex Neil will pick the team for the first time as he prepares to launch his reign against Swansea in the Sky Bet Championship.
The former Sunderland head coach took up his role as Michael O’Neill’s replacement on Sunday, a day after witnessing the Potters’ 1-0 win at Blackburn from the stands, and has promised his players a clean slate.
