It looks like it will be the same team that started the Fulham game to me. Leighton Baines is touch and go and will not be rushed back. That won't bother David Moyes from a defensive point of view. When you play Stoke you need all our big fellas to be at their best
The team is looking very strong at the moment with Phil and Gibbo in the middle allowing Felli to get further forward. And with Peanuts and Ossie on the flanks we are flying.
The only possible change could be Ross Barkley gets a game but I think he may come on from the bench.
Jogger's starting XI: Tim, Hibbo, Johnny, Jags, Buzz, Ossie, Nev, Gibbo, Felli, Peanuts, And Jelly
What would your starting XI be?
David Moyes said: "Near-enough from just after January it has helped us not having many injuries.
"It has offered us a little bit of freshness. Earlier in the season we couldn't get enough players in the team.
"We have been in decent form since January and have kept ourselves going despite having lost a game here or there."
"Sylvain has come in and done quite well in a couple of games. Just before the semi-final we were able to rotate him, Phil Jagielka and John Heitinga around.
"Sylvain is having to play at left-back so we are fortunate we can get all three in the team right now.
"They have been playing well and their form has been consistent so it is a good position for me to be in.
"You know you are going to have to deal with long throws and balls into your box but that is part of football.
"There is no rule that it has to be played only one way. That is why the Premier League is so exciting because there is a variation of styles.
"Over the years Stoke have been a good side and have improved year-on-year.
"When you look at the opposition you always look to see what they do and try to make sure you deal with it.
"The way they play there are things you have to do to try to combat it but we will go there and try to play our own game."
Everton from: Howard, Heitinga, Jagielka, Distin, Hibbert, Neville, Coleman, Fellaini, Osman, Gibson, Anichebe, Jelavic, Gueye, Duffy, McFadden, Stracqualursi, Mucha, Pienaar, Cahill, Hahnemann, Barkley.
