Stoke City will be looking to give Fulham a run for their money at Craven Cottage.

The Potters have emerged as a force in the Championship and will be no pushovers in their FA Cup fourth round clash in West London.

However, Fulham are in fine form and are unbeaten in their last nine outings in all competitions, although just two of those games have resulted in wins.

Fulham boss Chris Coleman is likely to give Welsh midfielder Simon Davies an FA Cup debut following his move from Everton this week.

Jan Lastuvka should continue to deputise between the sticks as first-choice keeper Antti Niemi is still on the sidelines recovering from a neck injury.

Claus Jensen and Papa Bouba Diop are still out of action, while midfielders Jimmy Bullard and Mark Pembridge are long-term casualties.

Stoke City have new faces of their own with on-loan Lee Martin available for manager Tony Pulis along with Salif Diao following his switch from Liverpool.

Senegalese midfielder Diao has already played in the FA Cup for Stoke this term after featuring in their 2-0 win over Millwall earlier this month.

Belgian defender Carl Hoefkens is unlikely to play as he is in talks with Club Brugge after Stoke accepted a bid for his services.

Mamady Sidibe and Ricardo Fuller are set to continue up front after the pair combined to net the only goal in Stoke's midweek win over Burnley.
