Stoke boss Tony Pulis has a fully-fit squad to choose from for Friday's clash with Scunthorpe as they seek the win that can send them top.Pulis will be able to call on midfielder Danny Pugh, who was booked for the fifth time this season in the Potters' 3-2 win over Southampton in midweek.

Pugh will then miss next Saturday's clash with Ipswich while he serves a one-match ban.

Richard Cresswell is available after serving his two-game suspension. The 30-year-old striker was shown his 10th yellow card of the season in Stoke's 2-1 win over Cardiff.

Andy Wilkinson has returned to full training this week but it remains to be seen whether the defender will make the squad.

Stoke will be looking to secure a fourth consecutive victory which could see Pulis' side climb to the top of the Championship.
