CITY boss Tony Pulis has welcomed Matthew Etherington back into his starting line-up... but will be without leading scorer Ricardo Fuller for tonight's clash with Burnley at Turf Moor.
The Jamaican international is an absentee for the Potters with a back injury, meaning his place alongside Mamady Sidibe in attack goes to Turkey star Tuncay, who moves from the left hand side of midfield.
His berth out wide goes to Etherington who declared himself fit ahead of the game after missing the last four weeks with a knee injury, whilst occupying the opposite flank will be Liam Lawrence.
In the middle, both Glenn Whelan and Salif Diao remain sidelined with injuries, meaning Dean Whitehead and Rory Delap link up at the heart of the side; leaving Sidibe and Tuncay to spearhead the attack.
Brian Laws has handed starts to both former City players Leon Cort and Martin Paterson as he looks to avoid a fifth straight league defeat.
BURNLEY (4-4-2): Jensen; Mears,Carlisle, Cort, Fox; Eagles, Cork, Alexander, Paterson; Nugent, Thompson. Subs: Weaver, McDonald, Elliott, Blake, Jordan, Bikey, Duff.
CITY (4-4-2): Sorensen; Wilkinson, Huth, A.D. Faye (C), Collins; Lawrence, Delap, Whitehead, Etherington; Sidibe, Tuncay. Begovic, A. Faye, Kitson, Pugh, Davies, Lund, Moult.
