Team News: Jakob Haugaard in for Jack Butland against Swansea City

Haugaard in for Butland

Jakob Haugaard starts in place of the injured Jack Butland as Stoke City host Swansea City this afternoon.

The goalkeeper makes his Premier League debut as Butland has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to a broken ankle picked up on England duty against Germany.

In two other changes from the Potters' 2-1 win against Watford last time out, Bojan Krkic - whose penalty won the reverse fixture - and Erik Pieters come in to replace the injured Jonathan Walters and the benched Marc Muniesa.

The Swans make three changes from their victory over rockbottom Aston Villa on March 19 as Stephen Kingsley, Ki Sung-yeung and Modou Barrow make way for Kyle Naughton, Leon Britton and Wayne Routledge.

Stoke City: Haugaard, Bardsley, Cameron, Wollscheid, Pieters, Whelan, Imbula, Afellay, Bojan, Arnautovic, Joselu Subs: Given, Muniesa, Ireland, Adam, Diouf, Crouch, Choulay

Swansea City: Fabianski, Rangel, Fernandez, Williams, Naughton, Britton, Fer, Cork, Sigurdsson, Routledge, Gomis Subs: Nordfeldt, Amat, Taylor, Ki Sung-Yueng, Montero, Emnes, Paloschi
