Stoke have no fresh injury concerns ahead of tomorrow’s league trip to Aston Villa and boss Tony Pulis will select from the same squad which thrashed Bolton last weekend.

Stoke will have key defender Ryan Shawcross back in their squad for the first time since late February for the tough trip to Barclays Premier League title chasers Chelsea on Sunday.

Stoke will be without long-throw specialist Rory Delap for tomorrow’s Premier League relegation clash at Sunderland due to suspension.

Stoke have agreed a permanent £100,000 (€146,000) deal for on-loan West Ham winger Luke Chadwick.
