Andre Gray's first Premier League season has not developed how he would have expected.
He has scored just one goal, with the joy of his strike against Liverpool rapidly snuffed out by a four-match ban relating to offensive social media comments.
Gray's playing time has been extremely limited since his return from suspension, with the 25-year-old striker seeing just 20 minutes of action in the last three matches, and he is yet to break back into the starting XI.
Saturday's trip to Stoke City offers a chance to get Gray into the team, with injuries to Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Dean Marney -- although Marney may be passed fit to play -- giving Sean Dyche the ideal opportunity for a reshuffle.
