Although Stoke City is struggling in the Championship, this game will not be one of the numerous secret giant killer contests in this weekend's English FA Cup matches.
It would be more important for the host to concentrate on their league standing because Hartlepool is both struggling financially and in League Two. Hartlepool is just 2 points above the League Two relegation zone.
In addition, Hartlepool had lost all three of their home games, allowed 10 goals in the three games, and had no home-field advantage tonight.
