Man City boss Hughes intends to attack Aalborg

Manchester City boss Mark Hughes says they will attack Aalborg in Denmark tonight.

City take a 2-0 aggregate lead into the second-leg of their UEFA Cup tie and Hughes said: "We'll be positive because we are a positive side, an attack-minded side - but there will be occasions when we have to be solid to give us the platform.

"I'm sure they'll look to score first, try to put some pressure on us and hope the home crowd will get behind them and help them to get that second.

"But, from our point of view, we have got to be really positive and make sure we are nice and solid. They may have to change from their natural game and that is to our advantage.

"We have to ensure that, if we do get opportunities, we take them. If we get an away goal, that would make it very difficult for Aalborg."
