Stoke strikers Ricardo Fuller and James Beattie are both doubtful for the Barclays Premier League match against Manchester United at the Britannia Stadium.
Fuller suffered a groin problem in the Carling Cup victory over Blackpool while Beattie is struggling with a recurrence of an ankle injury.
Manager Tony Pulis could recall Richard Cresswell to the attack to partner Dave Kitson.
Provisional squad: Sorensen, Simonsen, Huth, Wilkinson, Shawcross, Faye, Collins, Delap, Whitehead, Whelan, Etherington, Fuller, Beattie, Kitson,Cresswell, Cort, Higginbotham, Griffin, Lawrence, Pugh, Tuncay.
