Stoke have upcoming league games against Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester City and an FA Cup quarter-final clash with Liverpool.

STAT: Stoke have scored just four goals since January 2nd, all of them headers and all from set pieces.

Tony Pulis: "Paul (Lambert) and everybody concerned with Norwich City have done an absolutely fantastic job there. If anybody thinks we will be turning up on Saturday and that it is going to be a stroll in the park, they are going to get a mighty shock. I've watched Norwich twice over the last few weeks and they are a good side. They have players who are relishing playing in the Premier League."

Norwich boss Paul Lambert makes three changes from the side which lost at home to Manchester United. Jonny Howson makes his debut, with Elliott Bennett and Russell Martin also in the team. January signing Ryan Bennett is on the bench.

Tony Pulis makes one change from the side which beat Swansea City last weekend, with Robert Huth returning from suspension to replace Matthew Upson at the heart of defence.

STOKE CITY: Begovic; Wilkinson, Shawcross, Huth, Wilson; Shotton, Whelan, Whitehead, Etherington; Walters, Crouch. Subs: Sorensen, Jones, Fuller, Diao, Pennant, Upson, Jerome. /// NORWICH CITY: Ruddy, Naughton, Whitbread, Ward, Martin, Pilkington, Johnson, Bennett, Howson, Surman, Holt. Subs: Steer, Morison, Jackson, Hoolahan, Fox, Wilbraham, R Bennett.

Norwich are in the lofty position of eighth heading into this encounter, while Stoke are two points behind in 12th. A win today will lift them above their opponents.
