Although their own position in mid-table is secure, Stoke could end up anywhere between eighth and 14th depending on the final-day results, which could mean a massive difference in Premier League prize money.
However, Pulis has vowed his players will be giving their all, which, given how difficult they found it to cope with West Ham's aerial threat on Sunday, might be bad news for the Latics, saying: "I have great respect for Roberto Martinez and Dave Whelan."
He added: "Dave in particular has done a magnificent job as chairman of that football club.
"But we will be desperately trying to beat them on Sunday because we have a responsibility to the best league in the world.
"Quite apart from anything else, we want to finish in the top 10 this year.
"If we do that, having already reached as FA Cup final and qualified for Europe, it would represent an extraordinary season for us."
