Stoke went into the 2013–14 season under new manager Mark Hughes following the departure of Tony Pulis at the end of last season. Hughes stated his intent to change the teams' style of play to a more possession based game but a lack of transfer activity before the season started saw Stoke installed as one of the bookies favourites for relegation. Stoke began well narrowly losing to Liverpool and then beating Crystal Palace and West Ham but the club failed to address their goalscoring problem in the transfer market with winger Marko Arnautović the only forward signed during the summer. This proved problematic for Stoke as they went through September and October without a win, picking up just two points and scoring only three goals. Stoke improved in November and December going a run of one defeat in seven games which included a 3–2 win over Chelsea although they did end 2013 with heavy defeats at Newcastle and Tottenham. Stoke had a poor January picking up just one point and defeat at Sunderland left the side on the edge of the relegation places. However the arrival of Peter Odemwingie from Cardiff City in a swap deal with Kenwyne Jones saw Hughes able to change his formation and tactics which instantly paid off with a 2–1 victory over Manchester United on 1 February. Stoke's form and performances improved thereafter and they went through March unbeaten with four victories. Stoke maintained their form until the end of the season where they finished in 9th position with 50 points their best finish since the 1974–75 season. Pre-season Stoke ended the 2012–13 season in 13th position with 42 points in what was a season of little excitement or progress and led to the departure of manager Tony Pulis.Tony Pulis leaves Stoke City after seven years in charge https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/22614097 BBC Sport 22 May 2013 Another Welshman, Mark Hughes emerged as the boards favoured candidate to take over the job.Stoke City: Mark Hughes contacted about manager's job https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/22649939 BBC Sport 29 May 2013Stoke City: Mark Hughes a front-runner to replace Tony Pulis https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/22689474 BBC Sport 29 May 2013 News of his potential arrival was met with a largely negative reaction from the supporters who saw Hughes as an underwhelming choice mainly due to his poor spell in charge of Queens Park Rangers.Stoke City: Mark Hughes protest is staged by Potters supporter https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/22710396 BBC Sport 29 May 2013 Hughes was appointed Stoke manager on 30 May 2013 signing a three-year contract.Mark Hughes: Stoke City appoint former QPR manager https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/22686204 BBC Sport 30 May 2013 30 May 2013Three-year deal for Mark Hughes as new Stoke City era begins http://www.thisisstaffordshire.co.uk/story-19131617-detail/story.html?#axzz2Ufc641kI The Sentinel 30 May 2013 30 May 2013 Hughes's first task was to release Rory Delap, Mamady Sidibe, Matthew Upson, Dean Whitehead, Carlo Nash and Matthew Lund whilst he gave Jermaine Pennant a new contract.New Deal For Pennant http://www.stokecityfc.com/news/article/pennant-contract-871588.aspx Stoke City F.C 18 June 2013 He made his first signing on 28 June 2013 with Dutch international left-back Erik Pieters arriving from PSV Eindhoven for a fee of €3.6 million (£3 million).Pieters A Potter http://www.stokecityfc.com/news/article/pieters-a-potter-886234.aspx Stoke City F.C 28 June 2013 This was followed by Spanish defender Marc Muniesa on a free transfer from Barcelona.City Sign Spanish Star http://www.stokecityfc.com/news/article/muniesa-891256.aspx Stoke City F.C 2 July 2013 Stoke returned to training on 8 July where the squad met up with Mark Hughes at Clayton Wood for the first time.Potters Start Pre-Season http://www.stokecityfc.com/news/article/potters-start-pre-season-900934.aspx Stoke City F.C 12 July 2013 The next day they went to nearby St George's Park for fitness tests.A Glowing Reference http://www.stokecityfc.com/news/article/bowen-on-st.-georges-park-905845.aspx Stoke City F.C 12 July 2013 The squad then travelled to Évian-les-Bains for a five-day training camp.Potters Touch Down in France http://www.stokecityfc.com/news/article/potters-touch-down-907025.aspx Stoke City F.C 12 July 2013 They squad then spent a week at Clayton Wood, playing a match against Burton Albion, winning 2–0 before departing for the United States to play friendlies against Houston Dynamo, FC Dallas and Philadelphia Union.Heat on for Hughes and his stars as Stoke go Stateside http://www.thisisstaffordshire.co.uk/Stoke-City-Heat-Hughes-stars-Stoke-Stateside/story-19541706-detail/story.html#axzz2ZJtMAyOf The Sentinel 20 July 2013 Stoke announced that they will offer supporters free bus travel to every Premier League away game in the 2013–14 season.Stoke City fans offered free travel for away games https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/23376497 BBC Sport 20 July 2013 Stoke's first pre-season match against Houston ended in a 2–0 defeat with goals from Andrew Driver and Giles Barnes.USA tour match report: Houston Dynamo 2 Stoke City 0 http://www.thisisstaffordshire.co.uk/story-19564365-detail/story.html?#axzz2ZwsOF8gL The Sentinel 25 July 2013 Stoke performed better in their next match against FC Dallas, and won the match 1–0 thanks to a well worked goal scored by Walters.

Liverpool controlled most of the second half in particular Philippe Coutinho and only some more saves from Begović kept Stoke in the match. Stoke did have the chance to come away with a point after Daniel Agger handled in the area in the final moments but Jonathan Walters saw his spot kick saved by Simon Mignolet who also blocked Kenwyne Jones' rebound meaning that Hughes' first match ended in a defeat.Liverpool v Stoke http://www.stokecityfc.com/fixtures-results/match-report/index.aspx?MatchId=3630609&pageView=full#anchored Stoke City F.C 17 August 2013 thumb|right|Stoke City faced Liverpool in their first Premier League match of the year Hughes' first home match against Ian Holloway's Crystal Palace saw Stoke play poorly in the first half with Peter Crouch guilty of poor finishing.

Stoke produced another solid and fluent performance and had a number of fine opportunities to win the match but were guilty of some poor finishing.

Stoke did go into the break in front however as Marko Arnautović scored his first Stoke goal from a 25-yard free-kick. Arnautović went off injured early into the second half and Stoke were unable to hold on for victory as goals from Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernández meant that Stoke ended October just outside the relegation zone.Full-time report: Man Utd 3, Stoke City 2 http://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/time-report-Man-Utd-3-Stoke-City-2/story-19993046-detail/story.html Stoke Sentinel 28 October 2013 November Strong winds greeted high flying Southampton at the Britannia Stadium and Stoke took the unusual step of deciding to swap ends after winning the toss. It was a decision which instantly paid off as Southampton gave the ball away from kick-off and Pieters passed the ball back to goalkeeper Begović whose long kick downfield deceived Artur Boruc after only 13 seconds, becoming the second Stoke 'keeper to score a goal with the other being Dennis Herod.

Chelsea continued to dominate but could not get a second goal and just before half time Peter Crouch took advantage of a mistake from Petr Čech from a corner. Stoke came back into the match after the break and Stephen Ireland scored with a placed shot only for Schürrle to score just three minutes later. He almost got a hat-trick but his long range effort cannoned off the crossbar. Ireland then wasted a good chance before Oussama Assaidi curled in a last minute winner to win the game 3–2.

At half time, Hughes decided to replace the ineffective Arnautović with Charlie Adam and soon after he scored after a flick on from Crouch. However, Villa scored an equaliser after a long ball from Brad Guzan fell to Pieters, whose attempted header back to Begović fell to Libor Kozák. Stoke were not to denied through and won the match 2–1 after Cameron's cross missed both Guzan and the Villa defence to leave Crouch with a simple tap in.Stoke v Villa http://www.stokecityfc.com/fixtures-results/match-report/index.aspx?matchid=3631730 Stoke City F.C 23 December 2013 On Boxing Day, Stoke made the long journey to Newcastle United, where they were without the injured Asmir Begović who was replaced by Thomas Sørensen.

Stoke took the lead in the 49th minute after Whelan's cross was only half cleared by John Stones and the ball fell to Assaidi who fired past Tim Howard.
