The Potters have lost all three of their top-flight matches so far and are second from bottom with only West Ham United propping them up courtesy of their goal difference.
Following the international break Stoke host Aston Villa before a crucial fixture with the Hammers at the Britannia Stadium and Pulis has urged his side to produce the characteristics which saw them establish themselves in the top flight.
He told the club’s official website: “It is that work ethic and togetherness which has got us where we are today after two successful seasons in the Premier League.
“It will be that same work ethic which will be the key to us getting over a very tough start to the season.

After signing Salif Diao, Eidur Gudjohnsen, Jermaine Pennant and Marc Wilson on transfer deadline day, Tony Pulis is hoping his new signings can bring enough quality to the side to improve their current league position.
And with four new faces to bed in to the team, Pulis admits the international break has come at a good time.
“This does give the lads chance to settle in, especially as we don’t play Villa until the Monday night which is still another 10 days away,” added City’s manager.
“Although Eidur has a bit of catching up to do, he is a fantastic professional. You have to be to play at the highest level and enjoy the success he has achieved.
“It will depend on the amount of work we can do with him which will determine whether he starts the Villa match or whether we put him on the bench.”
