Keeper hopes for regular spot

The Potters are currently sitting pretty in the top half of the table following a five-game unbeaten run, and Begovic, in the team ahead of Thomas Sorensen, has played a key part.

"Personally it's nice for me to get a run of games in the team and fantastic for the manager to put confidence in me, so I am trying to repay him," Begovic told the Sentinel.

"But I know I have to be on it every single game because the competition here at Stoke City is very hard."
