Stoke face Blackpool at home at the Britannia Stadium.
Pulis said: “Blackpool are a fluent team. They’re very organised and everybody knows their jobs.
“It’s going to be a tough, tough game for us.
“I think it will be one of our toughest games at the Britannia, for two reasons.
“Firstly, it’s one of the few occasions that we will be favourites, and secondly, the fact that they are such a well-drilled, fit, organised team.”
He added: “The confidence is high, the players have done well, and we need to keep picking points up because the league is a very, very tight league this year.”
