I fear this could be a repeat of the Swansea game, a lot of the players were struggling physically at the end of the game so I really hope the likes of Cuellar and N'zogbia can play in this one to freshen things up a bit. Would start Weimann aswell.

1-1.

Hoping we have one or two players back from injury from this one and if so I fancy us for a scrappy as fuck 2-1 win.

I'll go with Collins and Heskey for us and Crouch for them

Anyone else hoping we score a few and they all come from long throws?

There's definitely a case for fresh legs after just one days rest. Stoke won't pass the ball around us like Swansea did but they could just overpower us. Any news on likely fitness of CNZ, albrighton, weimann?

I imagine bannan, herd might be tired? So:

Given - hutton, Collins, baker / cuellar, warnock - albrighton, Ireland, herd, CNZ - heskey, gabby

Bannan and gardner the alternatives to the two wingers I not fit. Interesting to see if carruthers gets more game time

Think we'll win this one. Stoke are in no great form of late although have had tough matches. Long season for them, didn't they start in July or something stupid?
The kids energy and fitness to shine through, 2-1.
