Lawrence and Fuller figure for Stoke

Liam Lawrence and Ricardo Fuller could be restored to Stoke’s starting line-up as Tony Pulis’ team attempt to turn around a barren run of one point from six Barclays Premier League games at home to Manchester City.

Fuller, who served a three-match ban for slapping team-mate Andy Griffin, came on as a substitute in Tuesday’s defeat at Tottenham and is likely to be promoted ahead of Richard Cresswell.
