    Where is it seating? And how much? My pinky brother was saying I’m tight taking my son in law on my wife’s ST. So he may be interested

    Just spoke to him and he’s busy tonight. He would have got out of it with more notice but can’t now sorry. I can ask people in work if they are interested though but if someone else wants it don’t wait on me.
    Thank you though.

    The starting 11 sort of picks itself tonight with the injuries and players cup tied. Hard to see how we will have any impact from the bench though...

    Chris Sutton's prediction
    The former Celtic, Chelsea and Norwich striker has cast his eye over the round's eight ties on the BBC website and delivered his prediction on how he thinks events will pan out at Ashton Gate and gone for a 3-1 win to Pep Guardiola's side.

    As a side point, it's interesting to see that the 31 league positions that seperate these two sides is the third-largest gap across the ties.


    You should know by now that I am a stickler for the correct terminology when two teams called United play, and the same rules apply here.

    This is a tale of two 'Citys' and I don't think it will be quite as one-sided as some people might expect.

    Bristol City are unbeaten in 12 games under Nigel Pearson and I like the job he is doing there.

    They have got some talented young players, including Sam Bell - a 20-year-old winger that a lot of Premier League sides have apparently been watching - and they will fancy their chances of causing an upset.

    But Manchester City will be ready and boss Pep Guardiola always picks a strong team in the FA Cup because he wants to hoover up every trophy he can.

    His side got a good win at Bournemouth on Saturday and should have too much for the Robins too, but I am expecting spells where Pearson's side make things difficult for the Premier League champions.

    The first song I heard on the radio this morning was Don't Stop Believing by Journey.
    Then I listened to NP's interviews and now can't wait for tonight.

    It's the hope that kills you.
