Tuncay a doubt for Stoke

Stoke striker Tuncay Sanli is again doubtful ahead of his side’s Premier League clash with Liverpool at the Britannia Stadium.

Sanli has yet to fully recover from a hamstring injury sustained in Stoke’s 3-2 home win over Fulham 10 days ago.

With the Potters failing to land England goalkeeper David James on loan from Portsmouth, boss Tony Pulis will decide between Thomas Sorensen and Steve Simonsen for the number one spot as the latter stepped in against the Cottagers after the Dane sustained a finger injury.

Team (from): Sorensen, Huth, Abdoulaye Faye, Higginbotham, Collins, Lawrence, Sidibe, Whitehead, Delap, Diao, Tonge, Kitson, Beattie, Etherington, Fuller, Tuncay, Cort, Pugh, Whelan, Simonsen.
