Pulis expects tough game

The Stoke City manager is expecting to face a backlash from Liverpool tomorrow as they look to make up for their feeble FA Cup exit.

"We are expecting a difficult game. With all the stick they have taken they will come here like a wounded animal," said Pulis.

"We are in the Premier League to play against sides like Liverpool, a side synonymous all over the world with winning titles.

"They are a fantastic football club and we look forward to welcoming them and playing against such a great club and great players."
