Stoke Vs Everton Preview
Having defied Premier League odds for a number of years, Stoke have struggled in all of their eight campaigns back in the EFL Championship. In fact, the Potters have finished no higher than 14th since they dropped out of the big time in 2017-18.
Mark Robins side laboured to a bottom-half finish last term having started the season extremely brightly. Now, the Red and Whites will get to test themselves against top-flight opposition which should give them a good indication of how they can fare in 2026-27.
As it stands, the Stoke vs Everton odds naturally favour a Toffees win. The Merseysiders endured a steady season last time out in what was their maiden season at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. In fact, David Moyes’ charges finished four points off a European berth having gone winless in their last seven league matches.
Stoke Vs Everton H2H Record
Stoke and Everton have faced off a total of 134 times across all competitions with the Toffees boasting the better H2H record. The Merseysiders have beaten the Potters 65 times and lost on 35 occasions. David Moyes’s side have won four of the last five meetings with the last coming in March 2018.
Stoke vs Everton H2H record:
- Stoke wins – 35
- Draws – 34
- Everton wins – 65
Stoke Vs Everton Team News
Highly-rated goalkeeper Viktor Johansson is set to start between the sticks.

In attack, household EFL forward Sam Gallagher is set to get some valuable minutes but most likely from the bench.
As for Everton, midfield ace James Garner will sit this one out as he recovers from groin surgery. England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford is on extended leave after his efforts for the Three Lions in North America. Youngster Tyler Dibling is expected to play some part. Summer-signing Hayden Hackney should also get some minutes.
