Stoke City v West Ham United

Stoke manager Mark Hughes is hopeful Jon Walters will be available this weekend despite nursing a knee injury.

Jack Butland will keep his place in goal after returning from 13 months out with ankle problems last week.

West Ham striker Andy Carroll has been ruled out again with a groin injury, but Mark Noble and Sam Byram return from suspension.

However, Cheikhou Kouyate, Winston Reid, Arthur Masuaku and Diafra Sakho are all injury doubts for the Hammers.

MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES

Simon Brotherton: "There are two clubs who haven't performed as well as they would have hoped this season but have managed to keep a decent buffer between themselves and those anxiously looking over their shoulders at the scramble for Premier League survival.
