Cameron Jerome and Kenwyne Jones have been paired up front for Stoke City's crunch Europa League group match against Dynamo Kiev.
A point will see the Potters qualify for the knockout stages, while a win would make them group winners.
Elsewhere, Matthew Upson partners Robert Huth in central defence, and Wilson Palacios returns to the team.
Peter Crouch starts on the bench at the Britannia Stadium along with Jonathan Walters.
Stoke City:
Begovic; Shotton, Huth, Upson (c), Higginbotham; Pennant, Palacios, Diao, Delap; Jerome, Jones
Subs: Nash, Fuller, Wilson, Shawcross, Whitehead, Walters, Crouch
