Higgy to start for unchanged City

10 April 2009 11:30
Danny Higginbotham should be fit to take his place in an unchanged Stoke side in Saturday evening's Premier League clash at home to Newcastle.Higginbotham only returned to full training on Friday after injuring his back during last Saturday's 2-0 victory at West Brom, but he is expected to be available.Stoke's Senegal international midfielders Salif Diao and Amdy Faye, who both missed the trip to The Hawthorns with knocks, are struggling to recover in time, but Tony Pulis is likely to name an unchanged side anyway.Kick-off at the Britannia Stadium is at 5.30pm.Potters (from): Sorensen, Wilkinson, Shawcross, Abdoulaye Faye, Higginbotham, Lawrence, Delap, Whelan, Etherington, Beattie, Fuller, Simonsen, Pugh, Cresswell, Olofinjana, Kelly, Camara, Sonko, Amdy Faye, Diao, Cort, Tonge, Griffin.[LNB]
