Stoke City v West Brom

West Brom are without midfielder James Morrison for tomorrow's trip to Stoke.

The Scotland international suffered a slight tear to the medial ligament in his knee against Chelsea last weekend and is aiming to return against Wigan on November 29.

Portuguese midfielder Filipe Teixeira could make his first start of the season as a replacement for Morrison.

However South Korea international Kim Do-Heon is also in contention to replace the midfielder.

West Brom squad: Carson, Kiely, Zuiverloon, Hoefkens, Donk, Olsson, Robinson, Cech, Kim, Greening, Koren, Teixeira, Valero, Brunt, Miller, Bednar, Moore, Slusarski, MacDonald, Pele.

Stoke boss Tony Pulis insists he has yet to decide who will replace suspended five-goal top scorer Ricardo Fuller.

Dave Kitson, who has failed to score since a £5.5million summer move from Reading, is the firm favourite, but Richard Cresswell is also in the frame.

Tom Soares, who has not featured in Stoke's last three games, could also be in line for a recall on the right of midfield with Amdy Faye's place under threat.

Seyi Olofinjana has recovered from the cramp which forced his early withdrawal at Manchester United last Saturday, but long-term absentees Liam Lawrence (ankle) and Andrew Davies (knee) are still out.

Stoke squad: Sorensen, Griffin, Shawcross, Abdoulaye Faye, Higginbotham, Amdy Faye, Diao, Olofinjana, Delap, Sidibe, Kitson, Soares, Simonsen, Whelan, Cresswell, Wilkinson, Sonko, Tonge, Cort, Pericard.
