Potters targets home success

Three defeats in their last four games have seen the Potters drop to within three points of the bottom three ahead of the clash with Newcastle at the Britannia Stadium.

Stoke's home form has ensured they have kept their heads above water this season, with seven wins from 14 games compared to 11 defeats from 15 away.

Pulis said: "We're unbeaten at home since the Fulham game just after Christmas so our home form hasn't been too bad. What we've done is played a lot of cup games in that period of time, and we've won those games.

"We'd have liked to have sprinkled it with a few results away from home but now we've got a run of home games, we've got more home games left than away games, and we have to make sure our home form is solid, as we have done over the last two and a half years.

"With five games at home, we've got to make sure we get points out of those games."
