Stoke City's recent form has been a mixed bag, with their last six games showing an alternating pattern of wins and losses. Despite their current 17th position in the league, they've shown flashes of brilliance, particularly in their recent League Cup match against Middlesbrough where they secured an impressive 5-0 victory. This high-scoring game stands out among their recent fixtures.
