- Asmir Begovic is available, but Jack Butland make retain his place in between the sticks after keeping back-to-back clean sheets.
- Bojan and Victor Moses are Mark Hughes' only injury concerns coming into this one.
- The Potters boss could name an unchanged XI from the one that drew 0-0 with Burnley.
- Mamadou Sakho is a doubt and while he's close to a return to fitness, he's unlikely to start.
- Daniel Sturridge and Jon Flanagan are both sidelined through injury.
- Mario Balotelli and Steven Gerrard should both feature from the off, but Raheem Sterling is not expected to play any part as it looks more than likely that he has played his final game for the club.
