Stoke have no fresh injury or suspension concerns as they go in search of a first win of the season at home to Nottingham Forest.

Skipper Ryan Shawcross remains the only absentee for the Potters as he continues his recovery from a broken leg.

Assistant manager Paul Hart took the pre-match press conference, with under-fire boss Nathan Jones on a tight schedule, and he confirmed: “We are okay in terms of injuries for tomorrow. We are only missing Ryan.”

The Potters made 10 changes for the midweek Carabao Cup penalty shoot-out defeat at Crawley, with the likes of Lee Gregory, Sam Clucas and Tom Ince expected to come back in.

Forest head into the game knowing they will move top of the table with a first win at Stoke since 1994.

The Reds, who are looking for a third away win in a row, are likely to revert to a line-up resembling that of their 1-0 Sky Bet Championship victory over Barnsley last weekend following a crushing cup defeat at Arsenal in midweek. 

Left-back Yuri Ribeiro impressed at the Emirates Stadium and looks set to keep his place, while it is hoped Joe Lolley will be fit after he limped out of the action with nine minutes remaining.

One of Tiago Silva or Joao Carvalho are expected to drop to the bench.
