Stoke City team news
While Sol Sidibe, Ryan Mmaee and Lynden Gooch remain sidelined by injuries, the Potters' manager Mark Robins is unlikely to field Wouter Burger, Ben Wilmot and Sam Gallagher as the XI here, with Josh Wilson-Esbrand also a doubt.
Enda Stevens is likely to start at left-back, while Lewis Koumas can expect a recall to the XI in support of centre-forward Ali Al-Hamadi.
Middlesbrough team news
There is no change in the availability status of the injured lot Seny Dieng, Darragh Lenihan, Ben Doak, Riley McGree and Jonny Howson.
Anfernee Dijksteel and Dael Fry recently would continue at the back, and Finn Azaz and Samuel Iling-Junior will be pushing for starts in the final third after Tommy Conway and Kelechi Iheanacho were paired in attack in the Norwich win.
