Problems at the back for Pulis

01 February 2011 13:00
Stoke manager Tony Pulis has defensive worries ahead of the Barclays Premier League trip to Liverpool. Captain Ryan Shawcross is ruled out through suspension while Danny Higginbotham has a hamstring problem. Full-back Andy Wilkinson has a back injury so Marc Wilson could come in, but Danny Collins is expected to return at left-back. Asmir Begovic could return in goal despite Thomas Sorensen impressing in the FA Cup win against Wolves.
