Stoke City striker John Guidetti is confident that the Potters can cause a major upset by beating parent club Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

The Sweden international is ineligible for the fixture having completed a loan move from Eastlands in January.

Manager Mark Hughes held his former club to a 0-0 draw in the reverse fixture earlier in the campaign, and the 21-year-old believes that his current club can go one better at the weekend.

"It's a big game and I hope that they can go there and do well," he told the Stoke's official website.

"We have beaten some of the big teams already and it was goalless in the match at the Britannia Stadium earlier in the season, so I trust we have enough quality to do well.

"It's disappointing that I can't play in the game, so the next one for me is Arsenal the week after, but before that we have to believe that we can go there and get a positive result."

Saturday's encounter kicks off at 3pm.
