Stoke City boss Mark Hughes fancies upsetting Manchester City tonight.

Hughes is relishing the chance of really turning the thumbscrews on Manuel Pellegrini's stuttering champs.

He said: "You sense Chelsea are going to have to slip up now. That's maybe what City are hoping for.

A ten point gap before Christmas doesn't worry teams too much, but when there's only 12-14 games left, the fixtures start to run out on you.

"If that were to happen, City will then need to win every game left and still have to hope Chelsea slip up."
