Stoke City boss Tony Pulis has been warned he's risking his relationship with fans over his selection for their Europa League clash at Valencia.

Around 3,500 Potters fans are expected at the Mestalla tonight, having paid an average of £500 for the trip.

And Sue Bryan, a fans' columnist with the local paper, claimed Pulis has misjudged the supporters' mood.

She warned in The Sun: "If we lose heavily in this game, fans may never be able to forgive him."
