Stoke City boss Mark Hughes hopes to have Mame Biram Diouf and Victor Moses available for their clash with Swansea City.
Diouf missed the last game at Sunderland with a hamstring injury picked up on September 29 against Newcastle.
And Moses limped out in the early stages of the Sunderland defeat after aggravating a thigh problem.
Speaking at a meeting of the chamber of commerce at the Britannia Stadium this afternoon, Hughes entertained his distinguished guests with tales about his long and varied career in football, says The Sentinel.
