Stoke vs Brentford: TV channel, live stream, kick off time and team news for Championship game

The Potters look to put an abject display at Leeds behind them while the Bees want more of the same

RELEGATED Stoke City will be desperate to get some Championship points on the board after a poor display at Leeds.

Keeper Jack Butland, in particular, will be keen to make amends for his 'weak wrists' that gifted Pablo Hernandez the key second goal.

Erik Pieters hardly fared better, trailing way behind play to keep two United players onside for their opener.

Basically, the Potters looked like a team of individuals who struggled both to make chances and keep the ball out of their own net.

New boss Gary Rowett has much to do to convince Stoke fans this can be THEIR  season.

In contrast Brentford hammered newly-promoted Rotherham  5-1.

Neal Maupay scored twice while Sergi Canos, Ollie Watkins and Lewis MacLeod were also on target as they got their biggest opening day win since 1994.

The last time Stoke played Brentford in anger was at the Millennium Stadium in the 2002 play-off final.
