84' Arnautovic slips but holds on to the ball, but his effort is wide

47' Eriksen gets to outside of the Stoke area but again N'Zonzi defends excellently

46' Arnautovic shoots wide

46' No changes for either side

28' Advantage for Stoke as play continues from Arnautovic being brought down. Crouch effort just wide.

26' Paulinho does well to break clear and to cross to look for Adebayor, but it's cleared by Wilson.

26' Midway through the first half and it's rather even here. First goal looks like it could go either way, if it does come.

24' N'Zonzi impressing in early stages. Drives forward in the middle of midfield and out to the edge of the box to cross, but it's overhit.

22' Costless kick for Spurs after Arnautovic fouled Danny Rose. Eriksen ball is whipped in with pace but is dealt with and Stoke clear.

10' Kane's shot blocked by Wilson

3' Eriksen gets a shot under his belt, well blocked by Wilson.

1' Chadli gets the first shot of the game away with, firing wide after a good Spurs break

14:41 The game is sure to be a cracker, with Stoke often at their very, very best at home, whilst Tottenham are generally showing signs of picking up, despite how late it is for them to be doing so, with only three games remaining.

14:29 We're half an hour away from kick off here at the Britannia, let me run you through the two teams officially.

14:25 Michael Dawson passes a late fitness test and comes into the starting 11, with Jan Vertonghen failing his and therefore missing out.

14:21 The two sides have met 77 times in the league before, Stoke winning 19 and Spurs, 41.

14:19 Mark Hughes men will be looking for another 3 points here to move them ever closer to their target of 50 points for the season.

14:17 Harry Kane will be looking to score his 4th goal in as many games for Spurs today, as he starts up front again, partnering Emmanuel Adebayor.

14:14 Stoke will be looking to secure a magnificent top 10 finish and continue their rich spell of form with a home win today against an often unconvincing Tottenham side, who have however shown some promising signs in recent weeks.
