Stoke City boss Mark Hughes targeting League Cup success

Stoke City boss Mark Hughes says that his side have a chance of lifting this season's League Cup after reaching the semi-finals with a win over Sheffield Wednesday.

Stoke City manager Mark Hughes has stated that his side have a chance of winning the League Cup this season after reaching the semi-finals of the competition.

The Potters booked their place in the last four with a 2-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday at the Britannia Stadium on Tuesday night.

When asked if he felt that his side could go on to win the competition, Hughes told BBC Sport: "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.

"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."

Stoke last reached the semi-finals in the 1971-72 campaign, when they went on to lift the trophy.
