BARCLAYS PREMIER LEAGUE: Stoke City v Fulham
Fulham have managed just one point away from Craven Cottage this season while Stoke are unbeaten at the Britannia Stadium.
Martin Jol's team are now unbeaten in their last four Barclays Premier League outings while Tony Pulis' men have managed one point from their last three.
The Londoners won both of last season's Barclays Premier League fixtures 2-0 but lost by the same score in the Carling Cup. The Potters though did the double in 2009/10.
Stoke Team News
Stoke boss Tony Pulis is waiting to see whether a sugar injection in Matthew Etherington's back has cured the winger's injury problems.
Kenwyne Jones, Jermaine Pennant and Marc Wilson are also doubtful for the match at the Britannia Stadium as they bid to recover from their own injury problems.
Wilson Palacios, Ricardo Fuller and Danny Higginbotham are definitely out, while Pulis will decide whether to rest Glenn Whelan after the midfielder helped the Republic of Ireland reach the play-offs for Euro 2012 over the past week.
Fulham Team News
Fulham can welcome back Aaron Hughes but will be missing several other first-team regulars.
The defender has recovered from a groin injury and is available for selection, although manager Martin Jol will not be able to call upon Philippe Senderos and Bryan Ruiz.
The former is out for at least a week with a thigh injury, while Ruiz faces the same amount of time on the sidelines with a knee complaint. Kerim Frei (ankle) is also out.
