Stoke City v Liverpool

Stoke are hopeful Jon Walters will be available despite missing the defeat at Burnley with concussion.

Marc Muniesa and Mame Diouf suffered midweek knocks but may be fit, while Xherdan Shaqiri has trained and is "an option", manager Mark Hughes says.

Liverpool will assess playmaker Philippe Coutinho, who was forced off against Bournemouth due to illness and missed training on Thursday and Friday.

Sadio Mane requires knee surgery and will miss the rest of the season.

Joel Matip should return to the starting line-up after a back problem reduced him to the role of substitute in midweek.
