After recording their first win over Chelsea since 1995, Mark Hughes has reflected upon the game, while also looking forward to their trip to the KC Stadium on Saturday:
"It was great to get the win at home to Chelsea, something which very few people outside of the club thought we could do. In truth, we hang a bit in the first half, but I thought we were the much stronger side in the second half, and deserved our victory because of this."
"We would like to think that on the back of the Chelsea result, we can go to Hull and get another three points. Hull have been superb this season. To just come up and win the games that they have shows the quality that they have there."
Stoke City endured a lengthy transitional phase at the beginning of the season, failing to pick up a win in eight consecutive games. However, the Potters have turned their seaon around in recent weeks with victories over both Sunderland and Chelsea:
"There have been games where we have done well, games where we have been ok and others, namely Everton, where we were below par. We are moving forward, we are becoming more used to what we are trying to do & I think there are a lot of reasons to be positive."
