Crawley Town welcome Stoke City to the Broadfield Stadium with a place in the FA Cup quarter-finals up for grabs.

Crawley Town face a difficult test against Premier League outfit Stoke City when they host the Potters at Broadfield Stadium for the FA Cup fifth round on Sunday.

The League Two side could field a strong team in order to remain in the domestic competition, however they could be keeping one eye on the league as they sit just one point below automatic promotion.

Following Stoke's 1-0 defeat to Valencia in midweek, Tony Pulis is likely to tinker with his side.

Cameron Jerome and Kenwyne Jones could be recalled to the side along with centre-back Matthew Upson, who was ineligible to play in the Europa League due to a ban.

Current form:

Crawley: WDDWWL
Stoke: WDLLLL

Possible lineups:

Crawley: Kuipers; Howell, Mills, McFadzean, Davis; Clarke, Torres, Hunt, Bulman; Watt, Barnett

Stoke: Begovic; Upson, Shawcross, Wilkinson, Shotton; Pennant, Delap, Etherington, Whitehead; Jerome, Jones

Sports Mole says: 0-2
