Stoke take a slender 1-0 lead in to their third qualifying round tie as a result of Jon Walters’ early strike in the opening encounter, and will have to call on all the battling qualities they have become renowned for to see the job out.
More than 30,000 Croats will be lying in wait for Tony Pulis’s men at Stadion Poljud – but City hard man Andy Wilkinson can't wait to get stuck into the task of knocking out one of the competition's better known teams.
"I don't think I will feel scared or intimidated," said Stone-born defender Andy Wilkinson.
"I think it will be a great experience to see what it's like out there in a foreign stadium like that.
"If anything, it gives us a bit of a buzz. I'd like to think so anyway. I don't think anything like that fazes most of the lads. In fact, I think it will inspire us.
