Pulis considers ex-Reds quartet

Charlie Adam, Jermaine Pennant, Peter Crouch and Michael Owen will all hope to start against old club Liverpool on Sunday.

Stoke manager Tony Pulis has no new injury concerns ahead of the trip to Anfield and the only player who is definitely unavailable is right-back Andy Wilkinson as he serves the final match of his three game ban. As such, the only decision Pulis has to make is who will face the Reds, with his quartet of former Liverpool players all desperate to take on Brendan Rodgers' men. Owen has been limited to substitute appearances for Stoke thus far, while Pennant has struggled to get a look in this season following a reported spat with the manager.
