Former Championship star Sam Parkin is of the view that Stoke City boss Narcis Pelech will face Norwich City with the hope of exploiting a few weaknesses in the Canaries’ game.

Pelech, who was first team coach under David Wagner and Johannes Hoff Thorup at Norwich City, took charge of Stoke City last month.

Under his management, Stoke City have seen a turnaround in their form in the recent games and now he will welcome his former side Norwich to the Bet365 Stadium on Saturday.

Parkin pointed out that sometimes facing his former team might spark fire inside Pelech and he is confident that the tactical battle between the Stoke boss and Thorup will be exquisite to watch.

He also indicated that Pelech, who used to work under Thorup, will be thinking of exploiting Norwich’s weaknesses on Saturday, which he believes give Stoke a slight advantage in the game.

“I was just going to say that I did not actually have it in my mind that he was ex-Norwich and I just think sometimes that will ignite a little bit of fire, but also tactical kind of battle will be fascinating”, Parkin said on the Championship Check-In show.

Norwich are unbeaten in their last seven encounters with Stoke and all eyes will be on Pelech to see whether he will be able to change that record at the weekend.
