Saturday's match between Stoke City and Crystal Palace at the Brittania Stadium is a key game for both sides. For Mark Hughes' boys it's a chance to reverse a recent winless streak and for Sam Allardyce's team it's an opportunity to pick up a vital point or three on their quest to avoid relegation.
The Potters haven't won in the Premier League since travelling to Sunderland and punishing the Black Cats on their own patch, although they have had tough matches and earned creditable points against both Manchester United and Everton.
The Eagles have won only one match in their last ten attempts in the Premier League and a 4-0 thrashing last weekend at home to Sunderland has left fans worried that they are heading back to the Championship.
Palace sit in 19th position and although they are just two points from safety, that dismal run of form means it'll be a tough task to reverse free-fall momentum.
Stoke have the perfect opportunity then to pick up a win and bounce back from last weekend's defeat to West Brom. But here are THREE changes Mark Hughes must make to secure all three points.
Shaqiri in for Afellay
Xherdan Shaqiri missed last week's match due to injury but if he beats a late fitness test then he should come right back into the starting eleven.
The Swiss international has a storming start to the season with three goals in his first five matches but has been less effective since, not netting since October.
Still, he is one of the Potters' most effective creative players, as shown in their last Premier League outing at Sunderland when he put in a fine performance on the right hand side of Stoke's attack.
He's certainly a better option than Ibrahim Afellay, who has struggled to fit into Hughes' plans this season. The 30-year old Dutchman has made just four starts this term and has done little in those showings to convince anyone he should be getting more game-time.
Berahino in for Adam
New signing Saido Berahino is still getting up to speed with life at Stoke after making a dramatic switch from West Brom at the end of last month's transfer window. The controversial striker has made two appearances from the bench for Stoke but deserves to be unleashed from the start to show what he can do.
What shape Hughes deploys on the day will determine where he plays but the most obvious choice is through the middle in support of in-form Peter Crouch, with Joe Allen slotting into Charlie Adam's midfield position.
Forging a partnership with Peter Crouch, who has four goals and an assist in his last seven matches, could be dynamite for the Potters and fans will be hoping their new signing can recapture the form of his 2014/15 season - when he banged in 20 goals for the Baggies.
Johnson in for Bardsley
Glen Johnson has been out since January with an achilles heel problem but is in line to feature for Stoke City again this weekend. That's good news for Hughes and Potters fans who, for the most part, have been able to rely on Johnson this term to put in a shift on the right-hand side of defence.
He was excellent in his last outing against Manchester United, helping Stoke to a 1-1 draw and the former Liverpool man is a much more effective option than Phil Bardsley - adding a more dynamic attacking option compared to Bardsley's no-nonsense defending.
With Stoke expected to have the majority of possession and territory on Saturday, that could be key in breaking the Eagles down.
