Stoke City boss Mark Hughes insists they'll shake off their slow start to the season.
Stoke are without a Premier League win in six attempts this season and sit in the bottom three ahead of today's visit of Bournemouth.
Hughes said: "It's a different group of players and different circumstances and we haven't made wholesale changes.
"I think the perception is we have brought in a lot of players. We haven't.
"The majority of the squad is exactly the same as last year when we got ninth place and a record points total.
"There have been changes, but most squads have changed to a certain extent from 12 months previously. That happens every year.
"We are enthused by what's ahead of us. We know we are a good side at this level, we know we can compete, so we are looking forward to the games to come."
