Currently lying ninth in the Premier League table, they are just three points away from Manchester City in fourth. Thanks to their promising form this season, a European qualification place could well be on the books for Tony Pulis' men.
Captain Abdoulaye Faye reckons a European spot isn't that unrealistic a goal, and insists that with work, a high finish is extremely possible.
The 31-year-old defender told BBC Radio Stoke "It is possible, but we need to improve every game and work very hard,"
"Our main objective is to stay in the Premier League. After that, we can start looking higher up the table."
With Stoke City 2-0 up at half time against Wolves last week, they saw a couragous Wolves fightback deny them of climbing further up in the Premier League table, yet with nine points in their last six games there's no signs of Stoke slowing down the pace.
Stoke face Premier League new boys Hull City tomorrow, and are eyeing up another three points at the KC Stadium. Hull may be without 'keeper Boaz Myhill, with playmaker Geovanni forced to sit out due to a red card obtained against Burnley last week.
There are no new injury concerns for the Potters. Salif Diao will be sitting out after sustaining a calf injury from the match against Wolves last weekend, whilst Amdy Faye will also miss the match with a back injury
