Stoke boss Tony Pulis will not take any precautions with his team selection for the game at Blackpool at the weekend despite an FA Cup final appearance in two weeks time against Manchester City. With little now to play for in the league, Pulis could be forgiven for being cautious in his team selections for the trip to Bloomfield Road and next weekend's clash with Arsenal, but the Potters boss does not believe that approach would be the right one.
He said: "The player you're protecting could go out and train and go over on his ankle. I think you've just got to play it the way you normally play it and get on with it.
"We've got two games to go. It's a three-game week for us, we've got a very tough game at Blackpool on Saturday and then we play Arsenal, which again will be a very tough game.
"We'll rest and recover like we've done all through the season and we'll pick a team that will go to Blackpool and hopefully do the best they possibly can."
