Our team to face Stoke City – what’s yours?

Harry Redknapp has a few injury concerns ahead of Sunday’s game with Stoke but the extra day could give Ledley King, Jermain Defoe and Gareth Bale the time they need to get fit.

There is cover in place for King and JD but Harry will certainly be reluctant to take to the field without Bale, who is back to his best and scored both goals here in our 2-1 win last season.

“We’ve one or two knocks,” said Harry. “Jermain has had a bit of a hamstring this week, Ledley took a bang on the knee in training last week and Gareth has had a problem this week. We’ll wait and see how they are.”

In front of Friedel, it seems to be a straight choice between King and Gallas to line up alongside Walker, BAE and Kaboul but the real questions start in midfield. With a resurgent Stoke likely to provide their usual, physical threat could Harry revert to a more defensive 4-5-1?

Alternatively, a four man line up in the centre could be more likely with cover for Bale coming from Pienaar or even Kranjcar who returned to full training this week. That would leave VDV to slot in behind Adebayor if Defoe doesn’t make it.
