ON THE GAME
Chris Coleman said: "We have just got to go out and do the business. "We can do it and the players know they can do it. "They were a little bit down in training at the start of the week because they know that they didn't perform for 90 minutes on Saturday and can do better.

"But we will build them up this week and get them ready for Saturday because the next three points are going to be major, I am sure. "I watched Stoke on Monday knowing what to expect but it was nice to see them so close to Saturday. They were organised and strong, and we know this will be a big test for us."

Stoke's Glenn Whelan said: "we have just got to worry about Saturday's game at Coventry now."There's still going to be a lot of twists and turns before the end of the season and it's up to us to get as many points as we can from the last four games."

TEAM NEWS
With Richard Duffy probably going back to Portsmouth after tearing a muscle in his quad, Chris Coleman is expected to give Issac Osbourne his slot in City's back four. Jay Tabb will be back after a bout of flu and will go into midfield.

Liam Lawrence is battling to make the game. The former Sunderland player has not trained this week in an effort to play.Stoke should have no other changes to the side which lost at home to Crystal Palace on Monday.
