Same again for Potters

Stoke have no fresh injury concerns ahead of tomorrow’s league trip to Aston Villa and boss Tony Pulis will select from the same squad which thrashed Bolton last weekend.

Stoke beat Wanderers 5-0 to reach the FA Cup final, in which they will face Manchester City, and Pulis has reported no lingering problems from the Wembley victory.

Striker John Carew, who was on the bench last Sunday, is fit having suffered recently with a back injury while Asmir Begovic could return in goal.

Provisional squad: Begovic, Sorensen, Nash, Huth, Faye, Shawcross, Wilkinson, Whelan, Wilson, Pennant, Diao, Whitehead, Delap, Etherington, Pugh, Jones, Fuller, Walters, Carew.
