Team News: Xherdan Shaqiri returns for Stoke City

Stoke City's Xherdan Shaqiri has returned from injury to start against West Bromwich Albion this afternoon.

Alongside the midfielder's inclusion, Derby County loanee Lee Grant is handed his Premier League debut in goal while Erik Pieters also comes into the starting XI.

The visiting Baggies, meanwhile, make just one alteration to the side that overcame West Ham United last weekend as Allan Nyom replaces Brendan Galloway.

Former Potters boss Tony Pulis's trip to his old club represents his 1,000th game in management as his side aim to deny Mark Hughes his first league win of the season.
