Billy Jones predicts "tough" Stoke City test

West Bromwich Albion defender Billy Jones has predicted a "tough" encounter against Stoke City when the sides meet in the Premier League this weekend.

The Baggies, who travel to the Britannia Stadium on Saturday, are currently in 12th place in the table after seven matches.

Despite 16th-placed Stoke now being under the management of Mark Hughes, Jones is expecting a typically robust performance from the Potters.

"Any games you go into against Stoke you know it'll be tough," he told the club's official website. "We'll do the video analysis and know exactly what we're facing. We'll have a game plan and know what we'll need to do."

West Brom earned a 1-1 draw at home to Arsenal in their last Premier League fixture on October 6.
