Stoke welcome Matthew Etherington and Jermaine Pennant back into their lineup for Saturday's lunchtime kickoff against Blackburn.

Blackburn have Paul Robinson fit after a clash last weekend while young defender Grant Hanley fills the defensive slot at the back.

Stoke: Sorensen; Huth, Shawcross, Wilkinson, Whelan, Wilson, Pennant, Delap, Etherington, Walters, Crouch
Subs: Begovic, Higginbotham, Upson, Whitehead, Jones, Fuller, Jerome

Blackburn: Robinson; Givet, Dann, Hanley, Givet, Lowe, Formica, Pedersen, Nzonzi, Rochina, Hoilett, Yakubu
Subs: Bunn, Henley, Petrovic, Vukcevic, Blackman, Goodwillie, Roberts

Stoke will hope to avoid a second straight home defeat having lost 3-2 at the Britannia to QPR last weekend.
