“ Neil Warnock / Pep Guardiola “

What have the managers said?
Neil Warnock (Cardiff City)
"They’re (Man City) lovely to watch," said the Yorkshireman.
"When you can buy the best players in the world, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to be successful. Pep is improving his team each year, but I’m not sure it’s not to the detriment of English football that Man City and Man United are spending lots of money.
"My favourite player in the country is David Silva, has been for years. He’s not even one of their top players! But I’ve always loved his attitude and ability to change a game. It’s an experience to play against these lads. It’s our cup final and we’re going to do the best we can on Sunday."
Pep Guardiola (Man City)
"I saw Mansfield v Cardiff and realise immediately the way they play, they do to quite well," he said.
"My staff know more than me. They are third in the championship. We are playing away. It will be tough.
"We know exactly how complicated the game will be. Last season against Huddersfield, we needed a replay. It’s a team on top form. Tall team, set pieces, aggressive one against one.
"We have to defend high because if we defend the box they are so strong."
What are the latest betting odds?

3/10 for Man City win is pretty good odds, I'd lump a grand on that if I had it 
Nice words by Pep as well, showing us respect, cause it won't be easing pickings for them but I do expect a routine Man City win, just as long as we play well i'll be happy.

If he defends high and we can get the ball to Ken's feet quickly he could cause them all sorts of problems!
