Mark Hughes has backed Stoke City to start scoring more goals in the Premier League.

The Potters have netted just four times so far this season, averaging less than one goal per match.

The manager told Sky Sports News: "I am convinced that at some point things will turn and we will score a greater amount of goals. We are certainly creating chances and that is encouraging.

"I think it is only a matter of time until we really take the game to somebody and score quite a few goals. I have good quality and good ability in many, many positions.

"We have enough players here to get us through a long, hard season. There are good players who haven't even made the bench recently, so seeing them perform well in midweek was fantastic."

Stoke face Norwich City tomorrow.
