Having started the season with defeats to Manchester United and Chelsea, Albion host Stoke ? who have not lost at The Hawthorns under Tony Pulis ? still seeking their first points of the season. Confidence should nonetheless be soaring in the attack, where Shane Long has two goals in two games and could be joined by last season's top scorer, Peter Odemwingie, fully recovered from an ankle injury. Pulis, delighted by Stoke's European progress this week, will be similarly enthused at having Robert Huth, Matthew Etherington and Jonathan Woodgate back and fresh. Georgina Turner
