Seriously, although it’s a different manager and team for us, we do have a pretty decent record at OT in the PL in recent years and they are fallible, one of the weaker of the ‘big six’. Probably weaker than Saudi United just now.
Winnable.

The way these young devil-dogs play Ian, I can see them doing Yoontid in their own back yard 😏

And if they don't, they get the chance to sample OT 😁 if thats not an incentive I don't know what is 🤣

2 key league games before we visit OT, however we don't play for 6 days after the Utd trip due to QPR being moved to Sunday, so no reason why we can't go and have a go at making the last 8, no pressure on us for this one but plenty on Utd given their much publicised internal issues.

And yes as you correctly allude too we boast a good record at OT over recent visits, so absolutely no reason for the lads to fear this tie whatsoever, just go there and play and see what happens on the night.

Whatever the record in previous seasons has no bearing due to different management teams for both clubs and very few players, certainly from our side. What we do have is a season currently with just 2 defeats and a good few staff members with connections to Man City.

Very true. And one thing is for sure, VK got the lads fired up for Sunday, I’m sure he’s gonna fire em up for a game against Utd. And the City lads as well.
