Having found goals had to come by this campaign, Lewis Wing's stunning performance - capped off by a superb long range strike on Wednesday night - could be the man Pulis turns to in a bid to boost their attacking frailties.

Pulis may opt to change his formation with Daniel Ayala, Aden Flint and Dael Fry recently sporting a back three with Paddy McNair and George Friend designated as wing backs.

Stoke summer signings Benik Afobe and Tom Ince are likely to feature while established Premier League pair Joe Allen and Darren Fletcher are set to partner each other in central midfield.

Youngster Ryan Woods has impressed Gary Rowett on first-team induction, playing in front of centre-halves Bruno Martins Indi and Ashley Williams.
