Team News: Tony Pulis names attacking Stoke lineup

Pulis names attacking lineup

Tony Pulis has named an attacking Stoke City lineup for this afternoon's FA Cup fifth-round tie at League Two side Crawley Town.

The Potters, who reached the final last year, line up with Jonathan Walters, Peter Crouch and Cameron Jerome all starting at the Broadfield Stadium.

In defence, Matthew Upson replaces Robert Huth, who featured in Europe on Thursday but is absent because of a domestic ban.

The meeting between the two sides is the first in history and Crawley bring a flawless record in this year's competition, having yet to concede a goal in reaching the fifth round.

Stoke: Begovic; Shotton, Shawcross, Upson, Collins; Delap, Whelan, Whitehead, Walters; Jerome, Crouch

Crawley: Gilmartin; Hunt, Davis, Mills, Howell; Simpson, McFadzean, Bulman, Torres; Watt, Barnett
