Shawcross returns for Stoke

Stoke defender Ryan Shawcross is back in contention for the Barclays Premier League visit of Liverpool after serving a suspension. Shawcross sat out the midweek win over Birmingham after collecting a one-match ban for a red card at Sunderland. Manager Tony Pulis will assess Ricardo Fuller having hinted the striker, only recently returned from a shoulder injury, could be rested. Tuncay, who was rested on Tuesday, is in the squad while the Potters have no other major injury concerns ahead of the game at the Britannia Stadium.
