Stoke manager Tony Pulis will ring the changes again after giving a number of fringe players a run-out in the Carling Cup.
Goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen comes back into the starting line-up having been rested in the midweek defeat of Fulham, while winger Jermaine Pennant (hamstring) should return to the squad.
The likes of defender Abdoulaye Faye and forward John Walters are also expected to reclaim their places in the side.
Stoke (from): Sorensen, Huth, Faye, Collins, Shawcross, Delap, Etherington, Pennant, Whelan, Whitehead, Walters, Fuller, Jones, Gudjohnsen, Wilkinson, Higginbotham, Wilson, Begovic.
