And when talking about the challenge of Bristol City he added: “Last 12 games, no defeats. This means they are there.
“My scouts said they are a good team, a manager with experience and did well at Leicester City. It’s a final, FA Cup is an important competition. A serious team will play tomorrow.
“My experience in this country, when you go away in FA Cup against a Championship team is always tough. At home it would be different but away is always tough.”
PREVIOUS MEETING
City booked a place in the Carabao Cup final after a thrilling 3-2 win over Bristol City back in January 2018.
Goals either side of half-time from Leroy Sane and Sergio Aguero put the Blues firmly in command.
Although the Robins fought back to level in the closing stages with two quickfire goals, Kevin De Bruyne won the game with the last kick of the game to secure a 5-3 aggregate victory.

LAST TIME OUT
We made it through to the fifth round of the competition after a 1-0 victory over Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium in January.
Nathan Ake’s right-footed strike shortly after the hour mark sealed the win for City as we continue to fight on three fronts.
Meanwhile, our opponents overcame West Brom 3-0 at Ashton Gate to reach this stage.
