Fabio Borini: Expected to be fit Saturday

Borini (ankle) is expected to be fit for Saturday's match against Stoke City.

Analysis:

Borini aggravated the injury recently but wasn't expected to miss considerable time, though he was left out last weekend because of a lack of match fitness. Jermain Defoe suffered an ankle injury last weekend, though he is also likely to be available Sunday, which may cap Borini's playing time.
