    Saido Berahino's place in the squad appears to have been taken by teenage striker Tyrese Campbell.

    The 18-year-old has scored 12 goals in 15 Premier League 2 appearances for Stoke's Under-23s this season, also bagging a hat-trick against Fulham last weekend.

    He is also the son of former Arsenal and Everton striker Kevin Campbell and that makes me feel old.

    Leicester v Stoke (12:30 GMT)

    Riyad Mahrez and Wes Morgan start for Leicester City against Stoke this afternoon.

    Mahrez starts his first Premier League game since ending his self imposed exile from the team while Morgan starts in the league for the first time since injuring his hamstring on New Year's Day.

    Stoke make my intro look a little foolish as Saido Berahino doesn't even make the squad. Potters boss Paul Lambert makes a total of three changes with Bruno Martins Indi, Konstantinos Stafylidis and Geoff Cameron coming in.

    Full team news and line ups to follow.

  20. How NOT to do an initiation songpublished at 10:25 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2018

    That's brought back horrible memories of when, in my previous job, I was covering Swindon Town's tour of Italy.

    Paolo Di Canio, who was the Robins' manager at the time, invited me to a team barbecue at the hotel - that was a good thing. Once there, though, he insisted I did an initiation song - not a good thing.

    I chose Ruby by Kaiser Chiefs but got stage fright and could only repeat the words "Ruby, Ruby, Ruby" over and over again before shuffling off awkwardly back to my seat.

    Awful.
