“It’s going to a very tough one this time, so we need to fight really hard to get the win there. If you lose there you are out of the Cup, we need to fight, ” said Iheanacho to mancity.com.

The number 72 added : “They have great players, good squad, good manager, so they have everything. As I said before it is a football game they can win they can lose, and we can win , we can lose.
