Phil Brown brings his Hull City side the Britannia this weekend looking to end a run of five games without a win. That stat does not do the Tigers justice however, having made a sensational start to season, following promotion, with significant away wins against the likes of Tottenham, Newcastle and most impresivly of all Arsenal. The Potters will know they will be in for a tough game against a side who sit 6th in the table following last weeks 2-2 draw at Fratton Park against Portsmouth.
Stoke Team News:- The Potters welcome back striker Ricardo Fuller who missed last weeks win over West Brom through suspension. Dave Kitson and Ryan Shawcross face late fitness tests on injuries they picked up in last week's win, whilst cpatain Andy Griffin should start despite a fracture in his left hand.
Hull Team News:- Defenders Bernard Mendy and Andy Dawson are likely to miss the game with injuries but the Tigers do have Wayne Brown available for selection again. Caleb Folan may feature despite missing training with an injury.
Probable Teams:
Stoke:- Sorensen, Griffin, Abdoulaye Faye, Cort, Higginbotham, Soares, Diao, Amdy Faye, Delap, Fuller, Sidibe
Hull:- Myhill, McShane, Ricketts, Zayette, Turner, Boateng, Ashbee, Marney, Geovanni, Cousin, King
Last Hull Visit To The Britannia
Stoke City 1-1 Hull City (01-01-2008)
With Stoke missing Ricardo Fuller and Hull missing on loan Frazier Campbell this was never going be a game of many goals. The Potters took a first half lead when Leon Cort headed in against his former club from a Rory Delap throw, but Caleb Folan rescued a point for the Tigers with a second half header, as both sides settled for a point in what was destined to be a Premier League promotion winning season for both clubs.
