Stoke City boss Tony Pulis expects a highly motivated Ryan Shawcross for their FA Cup semi.

Shawcross has an extra special reason to do well this weekend thanks to a new addition to his family.

Pulis revealed: "His wife had a baby daughter on Wednesday which is absolutely fantastic. We are very pleased for him.

"Ryan is an outstanding player but his head will be spinning around a lot. We will have to look after him the next couple of days."
