(Reuters) - Stoke City manager Mark Hughes appeared to be relishing his selection dilemma ahead of his 10th-placed team's clash with Middlesbrough on Saturday, after last weekend's 4-0 drubbing at Tottenham Hotspur.

Hughes was forced to leave on-loan forward Wilfried Bony out of the squad and put new arrival Saido Berahino on the bench against Tottenham, opting instead to start with striker Peter Crouch.
