Summer signings Ethan Galbraith, Luke Graham and Svante Ingelsson make their Stoke City debuts in today's Carabao Cup first round tie against Oldham Athletic. Galbraith and Ingelsson start in central midfield and Graham in the middle of defence while fellow new boys Josh Griffiths and Djibril Soumare are named on the bench. Galbraith has joined Stoke from Swansea, who are the opposition next weekend in the first league match of term, while Ingelsson has come in from Sheffield Wednesday and Graham from Dundee. Viktor Johnasson will lead the team out as captain while Ben Wilmot, who was skipper last year, fills in at right-back. Graham and Bosun Lawal have taken an early lead in the pecking in Wilmot's favoured position of centre-half. FOLLOW OUR FACEBOOK PAGE!
