Southampton’s Shane Long could return after recovering from an ankle injury picked up at Middlesbrough last week.
Cedric Soares faces a fitness test after limping off in the midweek draw with Manchester United.
Stoke’s Marko Arnautovic is doubtful because of an elbow problem sustained in last weekend’s defeat by Arsenal.
Ibrahim Afellay is still recuperating from knee surgery last month, while Stephen Ireland remains out with a long-term leg injury.
Tony Husband: “The most boring team ever!” shouted one Southampton fan on Thursday when I asked his views on the season.
"It seems a harsh assessment for a side which has reached a cup final, narrowly missed out on the Europa League knockout stages, and currently lies eighth in the Premier League.
"But while the stats should give Claude Puel plenty of comfort at the end of his first season, he’s still fighting for his job, with Southampton seemingly doing little to dampen the speculation.
"If Saints fans feel underwhelmed, then the same probably applies to Stoke, who are at the bottom end of a mass of mediocrity in 14th.
"But Mark Hughes does appear to have the backing to reshape the squad this summer.
“It’s a job security of which Puel must be envious.”
Stoke City manager Mark Hughes: "It’s fair to say that we haven’t hit our targets this season, so it is disappointing. It isn’t disastrous though, I don’t feel.
“Everybody wants to be stimulated by progressive seasons, and of the four I have been here this is the first that we have fallen short.”
Stoke’s form has been heading in a downhill direction for a while now but the nature of the last day of the season always throws up some unexpected results, and I think this game will provide one of them.

Inside the Stoke City edition the 25-year-old talks exclusively to SAINTS about his recovery from injury and how he has grown as a leader over the course of the season.

Elsewhere, there’s a comprehensive review of Saints’ season, accompanied by Club Photographer Matt Watson’s carefully selected favourite images.
Franny Benali pens his last column of the year and Bleacher Report’s Sam Tighe provides a tactical analysis of Oriol Romeu’s impressive season.

Southampton v Stoke City: Team news, kick-off time, odds and stats
Show/hide article…
Ahead of the final day in the Premier League season, Sportsmail will be providing you with all you need to know about every fixture, with team news, provisional squads, betting odds and Opta stats. Here is all the information you need for Southampton’s home clash with Stoke City.
Forward Shane Long will miss Southampton’s final match of the season against Stoke at St Mary’s Stadium with a broken metatarsal.
Cedric Soares, who was substituted in the goalless draw against Manchester United on Wednesday, and Ryan Bertrand are both doubts.
Charlie Austin is pushing for his first start since December.
Marko Arnautovic looks set to miss Stoke’s final Premier League game of the season at Southampton.
The midfielder had to be substituted against Arsenal last weekend following a shoulder charge from Rob Holding, which earned the Gunners defender a yellow card, and he has subsequently had a plaster cast fitted around his elbow.
Ibrahim Afellay (knee) and Stephen Ireland (broken leg) are long-term absentees for the Potters.
These two teams have met nine times in the Premier League; with them both winning two apiece and drawing the other five.
This fixture has seen three red cards in the last five games in all competitions; including each of the last two Premier League contests.
Southampton hosted Stoke City on the last day of the season in the 2012-13 campaign; when Rickie Lambert equalised after current Stoke City striker Peter Crouch opened the scoring for the Potters.
Southampton have lost just once in 10 final day home games in the Premier League (W5 D4), a loss against Manchester United in 2005 which confirmed relegation for Southampton.
After losing each of their first three Premier League final day contests, Stoke are unbeaten in their last five (W3 D2), including wins in each of the last three.
Stoke will finish in the bottom half for the first season since 2012-13, which ended with Tony Pulis’ departure from the club.
With one game to go, the Potters (41 points) are one point below their previous worst points tally in a full Premier League season (42 in 2012-13).
Regardless of the result in this match, Southampton’s final Premier League points tally will be lower than in each of the last three seasons: 2015-16 (63), 2014-15 (60) and 2013-14 (56).
Southampton have failed to score in five of their last seven Premier League matches, including the 0-0 draw with Manchester United on Wednesday night.
Glen Johnson could make his 350th Premier League appearance in this match; 14 years and three months after making his debut in the competition (January 2003).
Mark Hughes will be looking for his 150th Premier League victory as a manager in this match – only six managers have reached his landmark (Ferguson, Wenger, Redknapp, Moyes, Allardyce and Mourinho).

WATCH: Would these Premier League ‘dives’ face retrospective action next season?
The Football Association has introduced retrospective action for diving so we have gone through the archives to look at examples from this campaign.
From next season players found guilty of simulation under the new offence of ‘Successful Deception of a Match Official’ will receive a two-match ban.
The video above includes five controversial incidents from the league season so far - which do you think would face punishment next year?
Marcus Rashford’s recent tumble against Swansea won a penalty kick to help Manchester United earn a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford in April.
It features in our compilation, as does Harry Kane’s fall against Arsenal in the north London derby.
Manchester City winger Leroy Sane and Tottenham star Dele Alli, plus Robert Snodgrass, complete the list.

What could still happen on the final day of the Premier League season
Show/hide article…
The final day of the Premier League season, cue the tears, is nearly upon us.
But while we know the champions and bottom three, there are still issues to be decided.
Read on to see what you should be keeping an eye out for this weekend.
The battle for the Golden Boot has gone to the wire this season, with Harry Kane’s four goals in Tottenham’s win over Leicester City on Thursday seeing him leapfrog Romelu Lukaku to go top.
Kane, Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez will be desperate to get their hands on the award. With Spurs facing relegated Hull in their final game, and Arsenal hosting Everton, Kane is the clear favourite.
With the one game remaining, two goalkeepers could be co-awarded the clean sheet award: Chelsea’s Thibaut Courtois and Tottenham’s Hugo Lloris.
Lloris’ blunder in the 6-1 win over Leicester mid-week means Courtois would take the prize, as it stands. But should the Chelsea goalkeeper concede against Sunderland and Lloris keep a clean sheet in Tottenham’s clash with Hull City, the Golden Glove would be shared between the pair.
The league’s top four will be decided on the final day of the season. Chelsea and Tottenham are confirmed to finish first and second, leaving Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal to battle for third and fourth.
The Gunners are the outsiders in fifth, two points behind City and one behind Liverpool. It’s out of their hands, so they must take three points off Everton and hope City and Liverpool, as unlikely as it is, to drop points against Watford and Middlesbrough.
There’s much more than silverware, European qualification spots and pride to be played for in the Premier League.
As the table above illustrates there is prize money to be had in each position (even those in the bottom three). Plenty of places are still up for grabs and club chiefs will demand their side remains focused on achieving the highest possible position.
Chelsea may have wrapped up the title last Friday with the win over West Bromwich Albion, but they have had to wait to get their hands on the trophy.
The Blues’ trophy presentation will take place at Stamford Bridge following the conclusion of their clash with Sunderland on Sunday evening, with captain John Terry, who is leaving his boyhood club in the summer, to lift his fifth title.

What could your Premier League club earn on the final day of the season?

What could your Premier League club earn on the final day of the season?
Think the season is over? Think again. We’ve worked out what your club could earn in prize money on the final day of the campaign.
A cool £1.9m is awarded by the Premier League for each place from 20th upwards, and with the help of transfermarkt.co.uk, we’ve worked out how much prize money your club could lose or gain in the final week of the campaign.
The biggest potential earners are around the bottom half of the Premier League, with a potential £11.4m swing for several clubs.
Read below to see what your club could take home come Sunday evening…
Arsenal - Currently 5th and unlikely to finish third, but a move up to fourth earns them an extra £1.9m. Liverpool sit fourth on 73 points knowing they will guarantee Champions League qualification if they beat relegated Middlesbrough at Anfield. A point further back, fifth-placed Arsenal are reliant on other results, despite beating Sunderland 2-0 on Tuesday to keep their slim hopes of Champions League qualification alive.
Burnley - Currently 15th, can move to 11th if they beat West Ham, Leicester lose and Crystal Palace and Stoke City fail to win. That’s a gain of £7.6m, but a potential loss of £3.8m if they drop two places to 17th, which will happen if Watford and Swansea win and the Clarets lose.
West Ham - Currently 12th and unlikely to move up to 10th but can move up to 11th and earn £1.9m if they beat Burnley and Leicester don’t beat Bournemouth at home. West Ham can also drop to 16th, a potential loss of £7.6m, if Palace, Stoke, Burnley and Watford all win and the Hammers lose.
Leicester - Currently 11th, but can finish as high as eighth, but only if they beat Bournemouth, and Southampton and West Brom lose, and they earn a 12-goal swing over the Saints. It is more likely that they can finish ninth if they beat Bournemouth and West Brom lose at Swansea, which would earn them an extra £3.8m. They could also drop to 15th, a potential loss of £7.6m from their current place.
Bournemouth - Currently 10th, but can finish as high as eighth if they beat West Brom and Southampton don’t beat Stoke at home, which would be an extra £3.8m in the kitty from their current spot. They could also finish as low as 12th, but with an unlikely goal difference swing with West Ham. If they lost at Leicester, they are likely to finish 11th.
Liverpool - Currently 4th, but could move up to third or drop down to fifth, or £1.9m difference in prize money either way. They face Middlesbrough at home, and will move to third if they win and Man City lose at Watford.
Crystal Palace - Currently 13th, but could move as high as 11th and earn an extra £3.8m if they win, West Ham don’t win at Burnley, and Leicester don’t win at home to Bournemouth. Palace could also drop to 17th, but that is unlikely with Swansea’s goal difference, but could feasibly finish 16th and lose out on £5.7m if they lose, Watford win, Burnley win and Stoke draw.
Southampton - Currently eighth and can’t move higher. They can however lose £3.8m and drop to 10th if they lose at home to Stoke, West Brom get a point at Swansea and Bournemouth beat Leicester.
Stoke City - Currently 14th, but can move as high as 11th if they win at Saints, Leicester lose at home to Bournemouth, and both West Ham and Palace don’t win their games. That would hand Stoke an extra £5.7m, but they could also drop to 17th, and more likely 16th, if they lose, Burnley get a draw and Watford beat Man City.
Swansea - Currently in 17th and can’t move lower, but could move up to 13th and earn an extra £7.6m, however only with a hugely unlikely 15-goal swing on Crystal Palace and other results going their way. More likely, Swansea could finish 15th if they beat West Brom at home, and both Burnley and Watford lose. That would give them a cool £3.8m extra in prize money.
West Brom - Currently 9th, but could finish a place higher and earn £1.9m if they can better Southampton’s result at home to Stoke. They are unlikely to drop to 11th or 12th, barring a huge goal swing with West Ham and Bournemouth, but will move down to 10th if they lose, due to Bournemouth and Leicester playing each other.
Watford - currently 16th, and though they are unlikely to finish as high as 11th due to goal difference, they could feasibly finish 12th and earn an extra £7.6m if they beat Man City, West Ham lose, and Palace, Stoke and Burnley all fail to win. They could also drop to 18th.
Manchester City - currently 3rd, but could drop to fifth and lose £3.8m if they lose at Watford, both Liverpool and Arsenal win, and with a five-goal swing with the Gunners.
