Bristol City boss Lee Johnson says he is preparing to welcome one of his idols when Jose Mourinho and Manchetser United take on his side in the quarter final of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night.

The Robins have knocked off Crystal Palace, Stoke and Watford on their way to meeting United.

And Johnson has revealed he has bought an expensive bottle of wine to drink with Mourinho following the match.

"He's world class," said City manager, when asked about Mourinho. "He's someone I've studied because as a young manager he's someone at the top of his game.

"I've ordered in a very expensive bottle of wine, I must add. I've had to raid my little girl's piggy bank so I'll be very disappointed if he doesn't come in and at least taste it."

On the game, Johnson added: "We've got a group that is very hungry to prove how good they are.

"It's a chance for the players, the club and the supporters to enhance their reputation. There's minimal pressure involved apart from the pressure we put on ourselves. It's a big challenge to see whether or not we can cope with Premier League football.

"I'm sure they [Manchester United] can handle pressure, the players and the manager are world class so they'll be confident enough in their abilities for a trip to Ashton Gate, but this place is a difficult place to play.

"This will be an unbelievable atmosphere."
