Hughes insists Stoke can win Capital One Cup

Stoke City boss Mark Hughes says they're capable of winning the Capital One Cup.

The Potters booked their place in the semi-finals with Tuesday's comfortable 2-0 home win over Sheffield Wednesday.

Asked if he felt his men were capable of claiming the trophy this time, the Stoke manager said after the quarter-final win: "Yes, I think so.

"Southampton we beat a couple of weeks back, last season we did the double over Everton and beat Manchester City, and Liverpool, I seem to recall, we beat in the last game of the season, so we have got a chance."

The Welshman - whose team defeated holders Chelsea in the previous round - added: "It's the first time we have got to a League Cup semi-final in 40-odd years, so it's been a long time, but now we're there it's a case of trying to get to the final.

"We'd love to do that and if we can get silverware, all well and good. We'd be delighted if we could."
