Some brief pre-match words from Pep. Asked if he enjoys this business end of the season, the City manager replies: “If you’re in contention for titles then yes, but not if you’re not. The motivation [beyond reaching six semi-finals in a row] is working out how to beat Newcastle, and there have been some very tight games against them in recent seasons.”
A reminder that this tie will go to extra-time and penalties if the scores are level here, which will delight my print colleagues on tight deadlines.
