Owen hoping for Stoke debut

Michael Owen is among several new Stoke signings hoping to make their Potters debuts in Saturday’s Premier League clash with Manchester City at the Britannia Stadium.

Former England striker Owen, who joined last week having previously been a free agent, says he is fit to play and will be assessed by manager Tony Pulis, while Steven Nzonzi and Maurice Edu could also make their first appearances for the Staffordshire club.
