Stoke's partying players are under orders to paint the town red and white tomorrow afternoon, as well as tomorrow evening, after being granted permission to remain in Blackpool for a fancy dress Christmas knees-up.
Manager Tony Pulis is allowing his players to let their hair down - as long as they don't let themselves down by coming a cropper against unpredictable Blackpool.
And he is already guarding against any complacency by insisting Blackpool are in a false position down in 18th spot after losing at home to Cardiff this week. "They've decided they want their Christmas dinner in Blackpool," said Pulis, "and it suits me that they stay away from Stoke-on-Trent.
"As long as they don't bring any trouble back, I'll be happy. I just hope they have a good night out on the back of a good result. I'll certainly make sure they're focussed on the game before they think about anything else.
"I've watched Blackpool three times this season and have told our players it will be a tough game. They are as good a team as I've seen in respect of what they do. They all know their job.
"I think Mick McCarthy is still saying Blackpool are the best team Wolves have played against this season.
"They've got some journeymen who have played at this level before and are right on the button. They could have beaten Cardiff by six the other night. It's one of those games you come away from and cannot believe the result."
Defender Ryan Shawcross and midfielder John Eustace return from suspension at Bloomfield Road tomorrow, while Gabriel Zakuani looks favourite to fill in at right-back as Andy Wilkinson (hamstring) and Stephen Wright (concussion) may be saved for the festive programme.
Stoke are seeking to extend a run of three wins and two draws which leaves Pulis acknowledging: "The players are flying at the moment and it's vital we don't take our foot off the pedal. There's no liberties to be taken in this league."

Good luck to em as well, as long as they have got those 3 festive points wrapped up they can do what they want  I wonder who'll be the one doing naked disco, who'll be the one slumped in the corner throwing up, I think I can guess who might have the biggest dodgy kebab (sorry Jon) and who ends up boning the worst munter on the beach?? Christmas parties eh? Don't they always bring out the religious feel good factor in us all?  |

Naked disco dance - ricci and demar a jamaican double act
Pissed up in the corner - pulis jr and buxton
munter on the beach - liam and hoult recreating liams antics up north and hoults colourful past
