Stoke will check on the fitness of forwards Marko Arnautovic and Jonathan Walters ahead of Saturday's Barclays Premier League trip to Southampton.

Both players suffered knocks in last week's victory over Manchester United while defender Marc Wilson is also a doubt after missing some training this week with a chest infection.

Midfielder Steven Nzonzi is available again after suspension but Andy Wilkinson, Matthew Etherington and Robert Huth remain on the sidelines.

Provisional squad: Begovic, Sorensen, Shawcross, Wilson, Pieters, Cameron, Muniesa, Shotton, Whelan, Adam, Palacios, Ireland, Assaidi, Nzonzi, Arnautovic, Walters, Crouch, Guidetti, Odemwingie.
