Having already dispensed with Premier League rivals Manchester City and Arsenal, the Potters boss insists Carlo Ancelotti's table-toppers hold no fears for his side, even though it is Stoke's first quarter-final for 38 years. And Pulis believes they are now accustomed to facing high-pressure situations, having survived for one full season in the top flight and virtually secured a third spell. "We've had some big games here. We played Reading to stay up in the Championship, we had Leicester here to get a result to get into the Premier League," he said. "We played 38 games to stay in the Premier League last year and prove everyone wrong, they are all big games. "We go there as rank underdogs and no-one will give us a chance. It is going to be a tough game and we've played some tough games over the last couple of weeks. "But we'll go down there, try to enjoy it and do the best we can because it is 38 years since this club was in an FA Cup quarter-final. "We are the underdogs and have nothing to lose." Chelsea's surprise 4-2 home defeat to Manchester City last weekend means Pulis is expecting a reaction from Ancelotti's side. But that will not stop him dreaming of a place in the last four and a day out at Wembley. "Chelsea will be smarting. The defeat against City will have given them a kick up the backside so it will be all systems go for us on Sunday," he added. "Chelsea are a fantastic team and they are deservedly top of the table, but I'll be thinking about a semi-final at Wembley, the players will be thinking about it. "We (Stoke and Chelsea) are all in the same boat. We know what is at the end of it if we can get the result everyone wants." Pulis would happily settle for a replay at the Britannia Stadium, where they are very strong, but he will not be playing for a draw. "No-one will give us a chance again, like they didn't at Eastlands and at our place against Arsenal," he added. "We just hope we can put a performance in where we play to our maximum and get a few decisions going for us and not against us. "I'd take a replay now, I'd settle for that. It would be fantastic to bring them back to the Britannia. "I would have preferred the game at the Britannia but we have to make sure we go down there and give it the best we can." Midfielder Glenn Whelan echoed his manager's comments. "I do not think many people would have expected us to get as far as we have, with playing Arsenal and then knocking Manchester City out as well," he said. "It is a one-off game, and we will be the underdogs, so there is no pressure on us. "We have always played as a team, we are not a group of individuals. Against the big teams you need 11 men and that is what we have tried to do throughout the season. "We will go there, put in a performance and hopefully that can get us the result we need."
