Stoke boss Hughes unconcerned facing rampant Southampton

Stoke City boss Mark Hughes isn't concerned facing rampant Southampton today.

Hughes isn't losing any sleep after seeing Southampton put eight past Sunderland last week by way of a warm-up for today's clash with Stoke.

"It was an outstanding result for Southampton," he readily acknowledged. "We go there with them on an obvious high because of that level of performance and result.

"But we are in a confident mood ourselves and won last time out as well, so we would like to think we can make a better fist of it.

"We recognise the talent they have, but we have plenty of that ourselves, and it's up to us to make sure it was a one-off performance and result."
