As Wilfried Bony prepares to face former club Swansea City, Mark Hughes is hoping he can score his first Stoke City goal.
Mark Hughes has backed Wilfried Bony to open his Stoke City account against former club Swansea City on Monday.
The Ivorian - on loan from Manchester City - has struggled to make an impact at the bet365 Stadium as Stoke made a slow start to the season, with his last goal coming back in December.
However, after Hughes' side registered back-to-back wins over fellow strugglers Sunderland and Hull City, the Welshman is hoping Bony can also get back on track against a club he struck 26 times in the Premier League for.
