Team News: Stoke City unchanged against Crystal Palace

Stoke City have fielded an unchanged lineup for this afternoon's trip to Crystal Palace.

Xherdan Shaqiri has overcome the hamstring problem he sustained in Monday's stalemate with Brighton & Hove Albion, allowing Mark Hughes to field the same XI as the Potters look to extend their three-game unbeaten run.

The hosts, meanwhile, show two changes from the side that drew with managerless Everton last time out.

Wayne Hennessey takes the gloves off Julian Speroni, while James Tomkins replaces Scott Dann in the back four.

Among the substitutes, Patrick van Aanholt is back in contention after recovering from injury, while Christian Benteke once more starts on the bench after being brought on for James McArthur last time out.

Crystal Palace: Hennessey; Ward, Tomkins, Sakho, Schlupp; Cabaye, Milivojevic, McArthur, Loftus Cheek; Townsend, Zaha Subs: Speroni, Fosu-Mensah, Dann, Van Aanholt, Puncheon, Sako, Benteke

Stoke City: Grant; Zouma, Wimmer, Shawcross; Pieters, Fletcher, Allen, Diouf; Shaqiri, Sobhi; Choupo-Moting Subs: Haugaard, Jese, Afellay, Martins Indi, Adam, Crouch, Edwards
