Tony Pulis admits his side will need 'a few breaks' against Liverpool on Sunday but is confident they can get a result at Anfield.
Reception
Stoke head to Anfield with plenty of familiar faces for Reds fans, with ex-Liverpool stars Michael Owen, Peter Crouch and Charlie Adam all in the squad.
Pulis expects the trio to receive a warm reception from the Anfield crowd in and has also tipped new Reds boss Rodgers to be a success.
"They will enjoy it, I'm sure they will enjoy it," Pulis said of Crouch, Owen and Adam.
"Being there [to watch Liverpool play Udinese] and speaking to people on the door, they're all looking forward to seeing the boys back which is lovely.
"But they're good boys, Crouchy, Michael Owen and I think Charlie was well-liked there too, so they're good lads going back and the supporters understand that.
"It's a great football club with a fantastic tradition and Brendan is a very lucky guy to have a crack at that and take that club forward.
"I think he understands that and recognises it. He needs backing which I'm sure they'll give him otherwise they wouldn't have appointed him."
