Abdoulaye Faye is suspended for Tony Pulis' Stoke City side, while Portsmouth have a number of key players rated doubtful.
Portsmouth's top scorer Aruna Dindane has a hamstring problem, while midfielder Hassan Yebda has a calf injury and both players will face late fitness tests ahead of this match.
Back in contention, however, is left back Hermann Hreidarsson, who has been plagued with a long standing hamstring injury. The veteran is likely to be on the bench however, with Nadir Belhadj or Anthony Vanden Borre more plausible starters.
If striker Dindane doesn't make it, Frederic Piquionne could be partnered either by Tommy Smith or by Danny Webber.
