Stoke City take on Championship side Crystal Palace this weekend for a place in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Potters manager Tony Pulis will be hopeful of having a successful campaign in the domestic cup competition after reaching the quarter-finals of the tournament last season.

The Premier League outfit head into the match on the back of a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City but the Potters will be buoyed by the news that captain Ryan Shawcross has penned a new contract at the Britannia Stadium.

Meanwhile, the home side will be hoping to rely on the likes of Yannick Bolasie and Francisco Moritz to find the back of the net and cause an upset.
