Stoke boss Mark Hughes considering a change to the dimensions of the pitch at Britannia
The Potters currently have the joint smallest playing surface in the Premier League at 100m by 66m, along with QPR.
But Hughes feels a bigger pitch will help Stoke's new-found passing game and is considering making a request to the league in the summer.
Standard dimensions are 105m by 68m but Hughes' side have been allowed to play with a smaller pitch.
