Stoke City team news & squad

Matija Sarkic is ruled out for the rest of the season, with Ben Pearson and Ben Wilmot doubtful after sustaining knocks in the Sunderland win.

If passed fit, Pearson could even start, while Wilmot may need time to heal his ankle. Jack Bonham should take the goalkeeping responsibilities, with Jordan Thompson and Morgan Fox on standby if required in midfield and defence respectively.

Stoke City possible XI: Bonham; Hoever, Jagielka, Fox, Sterling; Pearson, Laurent; Brown, Smallbone, Campbell; Gayle
