Stoke City vs. Tottenham
Erik Pieters left last weekend's match against Cardiff due to illness, but is expected back. Michael Dawson is due back from his hamstring injury, although that's been the case for awhile now, so it wouldn't be surprising if he stayed on the bench. Jan Vertonghen could return from his ankle injury, but Spurs will be without Kyle Walker (pelvis).
