Transcript

00:00Given the way Manchester City have been playing, they could go and get something and end another

00:07hoodoo at the Etihad, couldn't they?

00:09Yeah, exactly. Never won there in the Premier League. There's no better time to face Man

00:14City at the Etihad, I think, than now, with the run of form they're in, and have been

00:18pretty much enough the last four or five months, in between games against Real Madrid. They're

00:22not out with the tie, of course, losing 3-2 at home is not ideal, but they're certainly

00:25not out with that, so they'll have one eye on that next week. I think it's a shame that

00:30Botman and Burn are injuries, not just because they're really good players and will be pushing

00:33with style. I think Eddie Howe might have liked to play a similar formation that he

00:37did against Arsenal, with that 2-5 at the back. Obviously, he won't be able to do that

00:41because he's only got two fit centre-backs, so that would be a shame if he's not able

00:45to do that, if that was his plan, of course. But yeah, I think they'll go full of confidence

00:49that they can do something. I think for Newcastle, for me, over the last couple of years at Man

00:53City, they've always looked at it and they've never really imposed themselves. They've always

00:56been a bit fearful. I would say fearful, actually.
