Wells: Huddersfield going to Man City to win!

Huddersfield Town striker Nahki Wells is confident that the Terriers can pull off an upset against Manchester City in the replay of the FA Cup fifth-round tie.

The Championship side produced a spirited performance to hold City to a goalless draw in the original tie at John Smith's Stadium a fortnight ago.

Now, they will take a trip to the Etihad Stadium for the replay on Wednesday night and Wells says that David Wagner's Terriers are targeting a shock victory.

"It's a very big task, but we can go there and still believe the dream is alive," he told in an interview with Sky Bet.

"We understand it will be a far tougher task to overturn Man City away, but it's the FA Cup and we can go there and try our best.

"It's a big game that we all want to be involved in and are all focused on. You never know what happens in the FA Cup, if you give your best it's possible.

"We'll focus on what we need to do to nullify their strengths, tactically pick out ways to try and break them down. We're not going there to get steamrolled or give up the tie, we're going there to win."

Wells added: "You want to play against these sides week in and week out.

"It's all our dreams to play in the Premier League and it doesn't get any bigger than playing a Manchester City side managed by Pep Guardiola with some world-class players.

"We can't wait for it."
