Stoke City-West Brom Preview (The Associated Press)

A process nearly two years in the making, Saido Berahino will finally achieve a sort of closure Saturday when the newly signed Stoke City forward makes his first road trip with the Potters to face his former team, West Bromwich Albion, at The Hawthorns. An extremely talented but often mercurial personality, the 23-year-old Berahino finally left the Baggies in this transfer window as Stoke City provided a £12 million transfer fee last week for the Burundi-born turned England international. It put a merciful end to the acrimonious dispute between Berahino - who had been with West Brom since the age of 11 - and Baggies manager Tony Pulis and club chairman Jeremy Peace.
