TEAMS: Pelle, Tadic and Long included in strong Southampton side, Crouch benched for Stoke
STOKE welcome an in-form Southampton to the Britannia this evening, and will hope to put Saturday's 1-0 away defeat behind them.
The Potters seek to cement a place in the Capital One Cup quarter-finals for the second successive season, but must overcome Ronald Koeman's high-flying Saints.
It's been ten years since Southampton reached the quarter-finals, and will hope to end that dismal run having knocked Arsenal out in the previous round.
