Squad sheets: Everton v Stoke City

Tony Pulis has urged Stoke supporters to "look around and smell the roses" after a club that had never won a European tie before this season became the first in England to reach the last 32 of the Europa League. It is the after-effects, however, that are causing disquiet. Stoke have lost their last four games away in the league, all following European duty, and will need to recapture their steel and cutting edge (they have the division's lowest goals tally on their travels this season) against an Everton side seeking a third straight win.
