Tottenham welcome back Mousa Dembele, who missed the draw at Chelsea because of a hamstring problem.
Gylfi Sigurdsson will hope to earn a start after scoring as a substitute in midweek.
You can't really argue with a point at Chelsea, but the desperate, pleading looks on the faces of Spurs fans craving one more piece of genius from Gareth Bale as he stepped up take his last-minute free-kick against Chelsea told the story - that was a game Tottenham had to win.
Now Spurs are hoping for either Chelsea or Arsenal to slip up - and Chelsea will have played at Aston Villa 24 hours before the trip to the Britannia Stadium - but even if they do Tottenham surely cannot afford to drop any more points, and Stoke has not been a happy hunting ground.
Whether it was the hapless Heurelho Gomes bursting into tears there in Juande Ramos' last match in charge (Gareth Bale and Michael Dawson were sent off in that game), or the sight of White Hart Lane reject Matthew Etherington celebrating a double in last season's defeat (Younes Kaboul saw red in that one); Spurs have not had much fun in the Potteries.
It wasn't much fun for them back at the Lane in December either as they played out a nondescript goalless draw. Back then Stoke were on an unbeaten run which was to stretch to 10 games; without that peak in November and December Tony Pulis' side would now be in dire trouble.
I saw them lose to Manchester United last month and, notwithstanding the opposition, it was about as grim a display as I have ever seen from a Stoke side under Pulis, who deserves enormous credit for getting his team to take seven points from the three games since.
Such is the congestion in the bottom half of the division that Stoke's late flurry of form means they are now only two points off 10th place and as a result could yet finish in the top half of the top division for the first time since 1981. That would be great on paper, but Pulis and his bosses know the reality: that it's been a long, tough season at the Britannia.
Stoke City
  • The Potters have claimed seven points from a possible nine, having taken only one point from the previous 21 available.
  • Stoke have drawn 14 Premier League games this season, a tally only Everton (15) can beat.
  • They have scored 11 Premier League goals since the turn of the year, the joint-lowest figure in the top flight (along with Norwich).
Tottenham Hotspur
  • Tottenham have only lost two of their last 20 Premier League games (W11, D7, L2).
  • Spurs have drawn 2-2 in five of their last seven league and cup games. They scored the opening goal in each of those draws.
  • According to statisticians Opta, Tottenham have scored more goals from outside the penalty area (14) than any other Premier League team this season.
  • Both of Andre Villas-Boas' previous Premier League matches against Stoke have ended 0-0.
  • Spurs have won nine away games this season, and can reach double figures in a Premier League season for the first time.
