Stoke City will begin their Championship campaign by welcoming Rotherham United to the bet365 Stadium in Staffordshire on Saturday. The Potters will be looking to kick on this season after a mid-table finish in 2022-23. While Rotherham looks set to have a battle on their hands to avoid the drop to League One. Despite threatening to pose a late playoff push in the 2022-23 Championship season, Stoke were forced to settle for a 16th-placed finish in the second tier – their joint lowest since being relegated from the Premier League in 2018. The Staffordshire-based club have moved to recruit players with Championship experience in this window. They recently announced the arrival of centre-back Luke McNally from Burnley. Neil’s men struggled at the bet365 Stadium last campaign. They managed just six home wins in 23 second-tier matches. A mixed pre-season in terms of results ended in defeat against Premier League side Everton last Saturday. Amadou Onana scored a 96th-minute winner in Staffordshire for Sean Dyche’s Toffees.

Rotherham on the other hand, is back in the Championship for back-to-back campaigns for the first time since 2016-17. The Millers achieved promotions from League One in 2018 and 2020 only to be immediately relegated in 2019 and 2021. However, the Yorkshire club got rid of their whipping-boy status in the second tier by finishing 19th in 2022-23. Right-back Fred Onyedinma has arrived from Kenilworth Road in an unrelated deal with the Hatters. Rotherham will be hoping for a repeat of their trip to Staffordshire last season, with a sixth-minute strike from midfielder Oliver Rathbone securing a maximum against Stoke in October 2022.
