Mark Hughes talks up Stoke's chances of lifting the Capital One Cup

“We are enjoying these games and we’ll look forward to the two huge ones in the coming weeks.“

Stoke boss Mark Hughes praised his side for an efficient night’s work after the 2-0 Capital One Cup quarter-final victory over Sheffield Wednesday – and talked up their prospects for the rest of the competition.

A sweet volley in the 30th minute by Ibrahim Afellay and substitute Phil Bardsley’s low 75th-minute strike sealed the triumph at the Britannia Stadium that took the Potters into the League Cup last four for the first time since 1971-72, the season in which they won the trophy.
