West Bromwich Albion make the short trip up the M6 to the bet365 Stadium on Saturday for a clash with Stoke City in the Sky Bet Championship (ko 3pm).
The Baggies fought back from losing positions to pick up points against Millwall at The Den and Watford at The Hawthorns last weekend, results which have kept Carlos Corberán's men fifth in the standings.
Hosts Stoke collected four crucial points over Easter, winning 2-0 at play-off chasing Hull City on Good Friday before drawing 1-1 at home to Huddersfield Town on Easter Monday.
The Potters, who drew 1-1 against Carlos Corberán's men in the reverse fixture just before Christmas, head into the encounter five points clear of trouble with six matches remaining.

The opponents
Stoke City head into this weekend's encounter at the bet365 Stadium with rejuvenated survival hopes having taken ten points from their last six games.
Prior to their 2-0 win at home to Middlesbrough on March 2, the Potters had lost six out of seven in the Sky Bet Championship and were sat inside the bottom three.
Five points now separate Saturday's hosts and the trap door to Sky Bet League One, with Albion's visit the first of six remaining matches.
Not since 2001/02 have the men from Staffordshire played in the third tier of English football, and they'll be determined to beat the drop and extend their spell in the Championship to seven years.
Stephen Schumacher is the man in charge and has been since swapping Plymouth for the Potters just before Christmas. The battle with the Baggies will be the 39-year-old's 20th game at the helm. He's won six, drawn four and lost nine of his 19 Stoke City fixtures.
One to remember
Jayson Molumby's second-half brace secured the win for Carlos Corberán's team at Stoke City last April.
The Potters pounced early and went ahead when Jacob Brown nodded in from close range.
However, the Irishman's efforts in the second period sent the Albion home with all three points.
