Stoke manager Tony Pulis is counting on strikers Ricardo Fuller and Shola Ameobi hitting the goal trail again during the run-in.Jamaica international Fuller has scored 14 goals this season, but has drawn blanks in his last nine matches, while Ameobi, on loan from Newcastle, has yet to find the target for the Potters.

Pulis told the club's official website: "It's important he steps up to the plate and scores the goals we know he can.

"Shola is a great lad and he's been very good in the dressing room. He's got a smile on his face and is a very positive kid.

"There's been chances that maybe he would have taken if he'd played more football.

"He needs a goal and Ric needs a goal. Once they get one, I'm sure it will set them off."
