Attacking duo Marko Arnautovic and Jonathan Walters have returned to the Stoke City team for Tuesday's Premier League clash at home to Watford.

As for Watford, Craig Cathcart and Nordin Amrabat have both dropped out of the XI, with Christian Kabasele and Valon Behrami coming into the selection.

Odion Ighalo has also been left on the bench, meaning that captain Troy Deeney will lead the line with support from Etienne Capoue.
