Doncaster v Stoke

Stoke City will be aiming to return to winning trail when they travel to League One outfit Doncaster City in the FA Cup third round on Saturday.

The Potters suffered a 1-0 defeat to Liverpool in the first leg of their League Cup semi-final on Tuesday night, and the weekend encounter will give them the opportunity to secure a place in the next round of England's most famous cup competition.

Doncaster, meanwhile, find themselves sitting in 11th in the League One standings, having picked up ten points from a possible 15 in their last five fixtures.

On the team news front, Stoke manager Mark Hughes is expected to ring the changes after naming a virtually unchanged squad for their last four fixtures.

Stephen Ireland (hamstring), Geoff Cameron (ankle) and Phil Bardsley (groin) are all rated doubtful and will undergo late fitness tests.

Doncaster have just one absentee to contend with as on-loan defender Felipe Mattioni continues his rehabilitation from a hamstring injury at parent club Everton.
