Stoke City boss Mark Hughes is looking forward to their FA Cup tie at Wrexham.

Hughes followed Wrexham as a schoolboy and his first ever live game was an FA Cup quarter-final they played against Burnley in 1974.

"Certainly, a lot of my mates are coming and they will be behind the goal with the Wrexham fans," he said.

"I will know a lot of people following Wrexham so I hope they have a good time - but not too good."

Wrexham were a Third Division side when Hughes started going to their games as a nine-year-old, and as Welsh Cup winners enjoyed some great European nights at The Racecourse.

He added: "I am looking forward to the game, it will be a great FA Cup day. I am pleased for them because a draw like this is important for their finances but for us, we just need to get the job done.

"It is a competition we want to progress in. Wrexham will come here with a lot of heart and endeavour but we should win if we do the job right."
