Tony Pulis is expected to make significant changes to his Stoke City side for the visit of Swansea City on Sunday.

Stoke City will hope to record a victory against Swansea City this weekend following their disappointing exit from the Europa League.

Tony Pulis is expected to make wholesale changes to his side that lost 1-0 to Valencia in Spain yesterday.

Former Tottenham Hotspur striker Peter Crouch is expected to come back into the starting lineup alongside Jonathan Walters up front.

Potters midfielder Matthew Etherington and club captain Ryan Shawcross should also return to the fold after being rested in midweek.

Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers is likely to field Scott Sinclair and Nathan Dyer, who failed to make Stuart Pearce's 25-man England squad to face Holland next week.

Current form:

Stoke: LLLLWL
Swansea: WLLDLL

Possible lineups:

Stoke: Sorensen; Shawcross, Upson, Wilkinson, Whelan; Wilson, Etherington, Palacios; Jones, Walters, Crouch

Swansea: Vorm; Williams, Taylor, Caulker, Rangel; Britton, Sinclair, Dyer, McEachran; Sigurdsson, Graham

Sports Mole says: 1-0
