​Wolves forward Raul: I'll be supporting Man City in FA Cup final

Wolves forward Raul Jimenez is hoping that Manchester City will win the FA Cup final.

If Wolves were to finish in seventh place in the Premier League, and City win the cup, they would earn a Europa League spot.

Watford winning the FA Cup final would mean the spot goes to them instead. And Jimenez admits the idea of playing in Europe is a tantalising prospect.

He said to reporters: "I have never played in the Europa League so maybe it's a good opportunity for us.

"Maybe not many of my teammates made it (either) so I really want to play that cup.

"Watford have the cup final, we are going to support Manchester City I think!

"Saturday (beating Watford) was very important for us because some people think that it was a revenge for the FA Cup, but we were thinking before of the match that it was a very good opportunity to take more advantage for the seventh place.

"Now we have the same opportunity as them to be in the Europa League. This weekend we have the opportunity to, if we win the game, to be in more in the Europa League in the seventh place."
