Tottenham boss Postecoglou 'relishing' Man City Cup clash: A cracker

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou is relishing the challenge of their FA Cup clash against Manchester City.

Spurs are set to take on last season's treble winners in the fourth round on Friday night.

While Postecoglou knows they are underdogs, even at home, he wants them to take the game to City.

"You can't script it, so it's probably going to end up being 0-0 and fairly dull! But I do [relish these occasions]," Postecoglou told The Standard.

"I loved the 3-3 at their place. It was a cracking game. There were so many storylines within the game, I loved that.

"That's what I love about football and that's what you want. Obviously you want to win because that makes you feel better about what's happened but you're playing arguably the best side in the world and we feel like we can have a crack at them. We will, and we'll see what the outcome is.

"I'll be surprised if there's no goals tonight," he added.

"I think it will be a great challenge and it should be a cracking game. Both teams are looking forward to seeing how we match up."
