Pulis to check on Potters pair

Stoke manager Tony Pulis will monitor the fitness of Matthew Etherington and Jermaine Pennant ahead of the Premier League match against West Ham tomorrow at Upton Park.

Abdoulaye Faye remains doubtful with a hamstring injury and Mamady Sidibe is out with a ruptured Achilles.

Team (from): Begovic, Huth, Wilson, Delap, Faye, Etherington, Whitehead, Jones, Collins, Fuller, Pugh, Whelan, Pennant, Wilkinson, Walters, Carew, Shawcross, Higginbotham, Diao, Sorensen.
