Here's the latest team news from West Brom boss Tony Pulis:

"We have one or two knocks from the other night but we won't know until 14:00 BST when they train.

"Potentially we could have a full squad, potentially we could have a couple missing. I'm hoping Matty [Phillips] will be fine to start.

"Matty is important because he gives us that pace down the sides. He's been a big miss for us.

"I still think there's lots more to come from Matty. He's a good kid and good around the place. He's been fantastic for us."

Stoke striker Saido Berahino has yet to score for the club in eight appearances since signing in January.

Manager Mark Hughes said: "We'll see a marked difference in terms of Saido Berhaino next season. We still want to get home scoring between now & the season's end."

There were also reports that Stoke are ready to sell £18m record signing Gianelli Imbula this summer.

The French midfielder has failed to make an impact since signing for the Potters in January 2016.

Hughes did not dismiss the suggestion that he might leave: "It's fair to say Giannelli Imbula has struggled to make an impact this year. No decision on players will be made until the season's end.

"He's struggled for a bit of form and what's required in the Premier League. He's still got a chance of game time this year.

"We feel as though there is more to come from Giannelli Imbula from a footballing point of view and we'll try to get that out of him."

Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini is a master on and off the pitch.

He presented his thesis on "The Business Model of Juventus Football Club in an International Context," and received his Masters degree from the University of Turin on Thursday.

Stoke City

Here's Stoke manager Mark Hughes with the team news before Saturday's encounter against the Reds:

"Jon Walters wasn't able to play in midweek due to concussion but we are hopeful he'll be fit once we've gone through all the protocols.

"Xherdan Shaqiri has trained and is an option. Marc Muniesa & Mame Diouf suffered bangs to the knee on Tuesday but we're hopeful."

Did someone say roadtrip?

To help promote the start of the new season, Test Match Special's Dan Norcross and Ebony Rainford Brent are attempting to travel around the six different County games in action.
