Pulis rejects calls for Man City fixture switch

Stoke and City, who face each other in the FA Cup final on May 14, were scheduled to play in the league on the same day.

The league match has been pushed back three days, but that has created an intriguing scenario in which it could be in Stoke's interests to lose that game.

"I can see where he (Redknapp) is coming from but which ever team we send out will do their best," Pulis told reporters on Thursday.

"The fixture is there, we are happy with it, Manchester City are happy with it and it has nothing to do with anyone else."

"If they shifted the fixture I would be more annoyed than Harry," Pulis added.

"Whichever team I pick I expect to win."
