The Potters have lost all three of their league games so far and have only West Ham propping them up courtesy of their goal difference.
Stoke face Aston Villa following the international break and then face West Ham in a crucial game at the Britannia Stadium and Pulis has called on his players to show their fighting spirit.
He told the club's official website: "It is that work ethic and togetherness which has got us where we are today after two successful seasons in the Premier League.
"It will be that same work ethic which will be the key to us getting over a very tough start to the season."
