No new problems for Pulis

Stoke City have no new injury worries ahead of their FA Cup third round match against Cardiff.

Striker Mamady Sidibe (Achilles) is their only absentee.

Manager Tony Pulis has pledged to send out a strong side but fringe players such as Tuncay Sanli, the Republic of Ireland's Glenn Whelan and Marc Wilson will be hopeful of a run-out against the Bluebirds.

Team (from): Begovic, Collins, Delap, Etherington, Higginbotham, Huth, Nash, Pennant, Pugh, Shawcross, Shotton, Soares, Tonge, Walters, Whelan, Whitehead, Wilkinson, Diao, Faye, Fuller, Gudjohnsen, Jones, Sorensen, Tuncay, Wilson.
