WIGAN Athletic manager Paul Cook admits his side will have their ‘hands full’ when they take on Mark Hughes’ Saints on Sunday.

Cook, speaking after his side’s dramatic 1-0 win at Bradford City on Wednesday night, he said: “Onto the cup game now, I told you all we wanted to be in the quarter final didn’t I?

“All jokes aside, they’ve just appointed Mark Hughes as their manager, a fantastic manager for a fantastic club and team.

“We’ve got our hands full. It’s going to be a great game and another great occasion in the FA Cup.

“It’ll be a great day for everyone to come and watch us, and you never know, we could end up getting to Wembley.”

Wigan’s injury-time winner at Valley Parade, scored by Michael Jacobs, means Cook’s side is back in the League One’s top two, five points off leaders Blackburn – with three games in hand.

They welcome Saints on the back of a five-match unbeaten run that began with their sensational 1-0 win against Manchester City in the fifth round, having also knocked out AFC Bournemouth and West Ham United.

Former Pompey boss Cook made three changes to the team that drew 3-3 at home to Scunthorpe last Saturday with 18-goal Will Grigg making way for former Everton striker James Vaughan before playing his part in the winner as a 58th-minute substitute.

“What a way to win it,” a euphoric Cook told wiganathletic.com. “I thought we were excellent – I really did.
