West Bromwich Albion fullback Billy Jones admits it's difficult to predict how Stoke City will perform this weekend.
Stoke made a positive start to the campaign but are currently 16th - two points and four places behind Albion - following three successive league defeats by Arsenal, Norwich and Fulham.
Jones told the WBA website: "Maybe the style of play has changed - I saw them on TV this season and it did seem like that.
"The old style they played, with the players they had - all those players were great footballers.
"Some of the new signings they've brought in are good. Any games you go into against Stoke you know it'll be tough.
"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."
