Tony Pulis has hailed the fitness levels of his Stoke City Football Club players.

The Potters were at Chelsea in an FA Cup tie last Sunday and at Burnley in the Premier League on Wednesday, before they held Aston Villa to a goalless draw at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday.

“It's been a tough week for us with three games,” said Pulis. "We've had a mid-week game away from home then playing here against one of the best sides in the league.

"It was always a big ask for the players. The fitness levels at the club are amazing and we have lads who will keep at it and keep having a go.”
