Stoke City manager Mark Hughes has insisted that the team will not underestimate Sheffield Wednesday ahead of Tuesday night's Capital One Cup quarter-final at the Britannia Stadium.
The Potters are favourites to progress into the semi-finals, but their Championship opposition have already beaten Newcastle United and Arsenal in their route to the final eight.
"I'm not going to underestimate Sheffield Wednesday in any way because they've beaten two Premier League sides already so coming up against us won't faze them," Hughes told reporters.
"We've got to be ready for that, but we're at home, and when the draw was made I think we're honest in saying they are one of the teams we wanted. We've got to make the most of it.
"They've got good power, good pace in key areas as well. We've got to be ready and not be surprised by anything they can produce. We've got to make sure our level is good and take the game away from them. It's all shaping up for a great cup game."
Stoke have been stopped at the quarter-final stage twice in the last 10 years.
