Stoke City team news & squad

Matija Sarkic is ruled out for the rest of the season, with Ben Pearson and Ben Wilmot doubtful after sustaining knocks in the Sunderland win.

If passed fit, Pearson could even start, while Wilmot may need time to heal his ankle. Jack Bonham should take the goalkeeping responsibilities, with Jordan Thompson and Morgan Fox on standby if required in midfield and defence respectively.

Stoke City possible XI: Bonham; Hoever, Jagielka, Fox, Sterling; Pearson, Laurent; Brown, Smallbone, Campbell; Gayle

Blackburn Rovers team news & squad

Thomas Kaminski and Daniel Ayala remain sidelined with injuries, and a similar XI to the one that beat Sheffield United last weekend can be expected.

That means Tyler Morton and Ben Brereton Diaz will have to feel contended starting on the bench again.

Blackburn Rovers possible XI: Pears; Rankin-Costello, Carter, Hyam, Pickering; Travis, Buckley; Thomas, Szmodics, Dolan; Gallagher
