Bojan in line for Stoke return as Xherdan Shaqiri prepares for home debut

Potters boss Mark Hughes made nine changes to his starting line-up for Tuesday's Capital One Cup victory at Luton and is likely to recall most of those who were left out - including record signing Shaqiri - but Bojan may be retained after making his long-awaited comeback from injury in the game.

Hughes must also make a decision about forward Jonathan Walters, who came into the first XI and scored on Tuesday amid uncertainty over his future. Peter Odemwingie (hamstring) and Ryan Shawcross (back) remain sidelined.

Provisional squad: Butland, Given, Muniesa, Wilson, Wollscheid, Bardsley, Pieters, Johnson, Cameron, Whelan, Van Ginkel, Ireland, Adam, Sidwell, Arnautovic, Afellay, Walters, Bojan, Shaqiri, Diouf, Crouch, Joselu.
