Mark Hughes: Teams no longer fear going to the big clubs

"Maybe in the past teams would fear going to the Emirates or Old Trafford or Stamford Bridge."

Stoke may have a dire record from recent trips to Arsenal, but Mark Hughes insists the Emirates holds no fear for his side.

The Gunners have won each of their past 13 home encounters with the Potters, a sequence that dates back to 1981, and will hope they can this weekend accrue their first Barclays Premier League success at their north London abode this season.
