Stoke set for striker decisions

Stoke will make late decisions over the fitness of last season’s 15-goal top scorers Ricardo Fuller and Liam Lawrence before they make their Premier League debut at Bolton tomorrow.

Fuller, who only returned to full training this week, is more likely to be on the bench after suffering a knee injury while on international duty with Jamaica.

Lawrence has been used sparingly in pre-season after a hernia operation, but he is expected to start.

Manager Tony Pulis has an otherwise fully fit squad to choose from.

Team (from): Sorensen, Griffin, Cort, Shawcross, Dickinson, Lawrence, Delap, Olofinjana, Whelan, Cresswell, Sidibe, Kitson, Fuller, Simonsen, Pugh, Wilkinson, Diao, Parkin, Buxton, Pulis, Pericard.
