Tony Pulis taking FA Cup seriously

Stoke City manager Tony Pulis has insisted that he is taking the FA Cup seriously this season.

The Potters have reached the sixth round in two of the last three campaigns, while they narrowly missed out in the final to Manchester City in 2011.

"The Premier League is the main priority without a question of a doubt but we want to do well," Pulis told reporters. "We've proved that we do take the FA Cup seriously."

Stoke travel to Championship side Crystal Palace in the third round on Saturday.
