Stoke skipper Shawcross: We know we are Cup final outsiders

Stoke City know they are outsiders ahead of the FA Cup final against Manchester City.

Stoke are hoping to win the trophy for the first time, although skipper Ryan Shawcross concedes that is a tough ask.

They face a Manchester City side looking to finish the campaign with a trophy as a return on the massive outlay on transfer fees paid out by the Arab owners.

Shawcross said: "We are under no illusions. There's a very good team in front of us and they're going to go in to the game as massive favourites.

"We'll be underdogs but if we perform well we've always got a chance."
