Sidibe could return for Potters

Sidibe could return for Potters

Sidibe has missed the last two matches but Tony Pulis is hopeful the Mali striker will be back to boost a forward line which has scored just once in the last three matches. Dave Kitson is likely to drop out of the starting XI if Sidibe does return but there could be a number of changes to the team as Pulis seeks a response to last weekend's 7-0 drubbing by Chelsea. One change will definitely come in goal, with Asmir Begovic making his first start since joining from Portsmouth in January due to the dislocated elbow Thomas Sorensen suffered at Stamford Bridge. Stoke (from): Begovic, Parton, Huth, Abdoulaye Faye, Collins, Wilkinson, Pugh, Delap, Whitehead, Lawrence, Whelan, Etherington, Kitson, Fuller, Tuncay, Sidibe, Moult, Beattie.
