Fellow defender Bruno Martins Indi is available, as are Peter Crouch (back) and Glen Johnson (illness), but Geoff Cameron (concussion) is out. 

Leicester City left-back Ben Chilwell is doubtful with a knock to the knee. 

Robert Huth, Matty James and Yohan Benalouane are all still injured.

Leicester (41.0%) and Stoke (37.8%) have the third and second lowest average possession figures in the PL this season.

Jamie Vardy has scored in three of his last four PL appearances against Stoke (three goals).
