Marko Arnautovic and Peter Crouch will form a tall frontline for Stoke City as they travel to Tranmere Rovers in the third round of the League Cup.
There is no Asmir Begovic for the Potters, as manager Mark Hughes gives Thomas Sorenson a start in goal, with Jack Butland on the substitutes' bench.
Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro and Cole Stockton lead the line for the hosts, while Akpo Sodje has been named as a reserve.
Club legend Ian Goodison is also named on the bench, meaning Adam Dugdale and Ash Taylor form the central-defensive partnership.
Tranmere: Fon Williams, Hateley, Taylor, Dugdale, Horwood, Atkinson, Power, Rowe, Lowe, Akpa Akpro, Stockton
Subs: Mooney, Holmes, Goodison, Baggie, Thompson, Sodje, Davies
Stoke: Sorensen, Cameron, Shawcross, Huth, Muniesa, Pennant, Ireland, Palacios, Whelan, Arnautovic, Crouch
Subs: Butland, Jones, Adam, Walters, Assaidi, Etherington, Wilkinson
