Stoke City manager Mark Hughes has made two changes to the side which surrendered a two-goal lead at home to Leicester City in the Premier League last weekend.

Philipp Wollscheid comes into the centre of defence to replace the injured Marc Wilson, who has a calf problem, while Charlie Adam returns after suspension to take his place in midfield.

Marco van Ginkel drops to the bench, where he will sit alongside Ibrahim Afellay, who is also back after suspension, and striker Mame Biram Diouf and Peter Crouch who both lose out to Jonathan Walters in attack, despite the latter's goal in the League Cup win over Fulham.

For Bournemouth, who have lost just one of their last six in all competitions, Eddie Howe names an unchanged starting XI after seeing his side beat Sunderland 2-0 last Saturday.

Premier League top scorer Callum Wilson continues up front, meaning that Glenn Murray still has to wait for his first Cherries start.

Stoke City: Butland; Johnson, Cameron, Wollscheid, Pieters; Whelan, Adam; Shaqiri, Bojan, Arnautovic; Walters
Subs: Given, Muniesa, Joselu, Afellay, van Ginkel, Diouf, Crouch

Bournemouth: Boruc; Francis, Cook, Distin, Daniels; Ritchie, Gosling, Surman, Pugh; Tomlin, Wilson
Subs: Federici, Cargill, Smith, Bennett, MacDonald, King, Murray
