Big guns hold no fears for Pulis

STOKE manager Tony Pulis has two dates to look forward to today — the Carling Cup quarter-final draw at lunchtime and then a meeting with Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Pulis could come up against Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger in the last eight but insists he would have no problem with that scenario.

After their shock defeat two weeks ago, the Gunners boss outraged Stoke by claiming some of his players had been specifically targeted.
