Championship side Stoke City undertake their first public pre-season friendly when they travel to near-neighbours Crewe Alexandra on Saturday.
The Potters kicked-off their preparations for the upcoming 2026/27 campaign with a narrow 1-0 loss against former UEFA Europa League finalists SC Braga last weekend, whilst League Two side Crewe saw off Witton Albion 3-2.
Both clubs have been active in the transfer market this summer, so this weekend's clash at the Mornflake Stadium will provide supporters the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the handful of new signings for the first time.
