What they said

Tony Pulis: "I don't think we've got anything to lose - City are on fire at the moment.

"Everybody expects them to be close to winning the league this year so it'll be a tough game. We'll put out a strong team, have a go at it and give it the best we've got."

Danilo: "When you see Man City's squad with lots of quality players, the experienced mixed with the youth we have, that can only give us confidence for all the challenges we have to face this season.

"We are aware about the difficulty of the task. We know that every week we are going to have more games in our legs, we will be more tired, there will be unexpected things along the way, but hopefully we will be able to fight for all the trophies and manage to win as much as possible."
