The Portugal under-19 international became the club’s youngest-ever goalscorer in January’s FA Cup win over Watford and followed it up with another goal in the Etihad a week later in the FA Youth Cup.
“It’s great if there are a lot of supporters in the stadium that would really help us and inspire us to get our first win.”
...Marcos Lopes...
Patrick Vieira’s men have lost their opening two fixtures in the league but are remaining positive that this encounter with the Toffees will change all that.
Last time out, a young City selection were beaten 6-3 by an experienced Tottenham team which included Sandro, Harry Kane and Tom Carroll.
“Spurs played with a few players from their first-team but this is not a problem for us because if you want to be big players, you can only improve by testing yourselves against the best,” Lopes declared.
“We need to work on our concentration throughout the game and if we can do that, we will be in a better place.
“I think we can start on Monday when we play against Everton. We’re going to play at the stadium which is a motivation for all of the players. I think all of the players want to win the game, I think a lot of things will change.”
