Key Battle - Rory Delap v Adlene Guedioura: With no obvious enforcer in the Stoke midfield, it is up to Delap to provide defensive stability, not to mention that missile of a throw. Guedioura has an underrated ability to break forward, he did everything but score against Everton a couple of weeks ago, and a goal must be around the corner for the Algerian.
Trivia: Stoke have only won one of their last six home matches against Wolves, a 2-1 Championship victory in August 2004
Stat: Stoke have not lost a league match this season in which they opened the scoring, winning eight and drawing four.
Odds: Stoke 4/5, the draw 12/5 and Wolves 4/1 are all available at bet365, and Robert Huth to score first offers odds of 11/1.
Prediction: Mick McCarthy's record in fighting against the drop is not fantastic, and without Kevin Doyle, they are unlikely to halt their slide on Tuesday.
