Staff NewsStoke will be lost Robert Huth in Saturday's Premier League home conflict with West Ham as the centre-back starts the three-match suspension handed to him earlier this week by the Football Association. Huth will provide the bar after accepting a crazy conduct charge from the FA concerning an event in last weekend's 1-0 defeat at Fulham, where he captured Philippe Senderos in the face together with his arm. Sometimes Marc Wilson or Geoff Cameron, both of whom often play at fullback, is set to include in the centre of support along side chief Ryan Shawcross. Midfielder Steven Nzonzi will be wearing a protective face mask if he functions having broken his nose in the match at Craven Cottage, while winger Matthew Etherington and striker Michael Owen will undergo late fitness tests. Meanwhile, West Ham leader Kevin Nolan is out with a broken foot. A base injury was exacerbated in Monday's 3-2 loss to Tottenham and West Ham hope his absence is likely to be temporary, while his other midfielder Mark Noble is doubtful by having an arm problem which saw him miss the Spurs loss. Person Demel is fit despite going down in the latter stages of losing to Tottenham, while George McCartney (knee) is continuing his return. Fit NotesIt is fortunate for Tony Pulis that Stoke's home record is indeed remarkable, as their dreadful absent kind remains their greatest hurdle to making further progress. That is the Stoke manager that have been left by a conundrum experiencing growing mutiny from supporters but certainly finishing midtable beats nail-biting struggles against relegation every year? Sam Allardyce's commitment talks will remain on hold until West Ham's survival is guaranteed and there's a fear that his team might still get drawn into trouble. Statistic of the game: Stoke have won 73 % (24 out of 33) of the factors at the Britannia Stadium. David Percy's prediction: Stoke 2 West Ham United 1.
