Mark Hughes may be confident he will still be in charge if Stoke City lose to West Bromwich Albion but one thinks the last chance saloon could run dry if the Welshman suffers a fourth successive defeat. Alan Pardew desperately needs a win of his own as the Baggies sit second from bottom showing promise but little end product. Jonny Evans thinking of potential pastures new could provide Stoke with a vital inroad.
