Burnley boss Sean Dyche will have no qualms if he needs to turn to 37-year-old goalkeeper Paul Robinson again with Tom Heaton still struggling with his calf problem.
The Clarets, winless on their travels since returning to the Premier League, go to Stoke's bet365 Stadium, which was the site of their maiden away victory in their top-flight campaign two years ago.
They may be without England stopper Heaton once more, though, as he is unlikely to overcome the issue which forced Robinson into action last weekend against Manchester City when the veteran made his first top-flight appearance in four years.
