Pre-match quotes from Cardiff boss Neil Warnock
"Coming to the ground today two-and-a-half hours before kick-off, it was chock-a-block. It's super. The FA Cup's got something about it hasn't it? We could've picked an easier opponent but you can't have everything!
"Their team sheet is frightening but it will be good for us to pit our wits against them. I think we can cause them problems but obviously we're going to have to defend really well. They're the best team in the country if not in the world at the moment."
Quotes from BBC
Pre-match quotes from Pep Guardiola
On the threat posed by Cardiff: "They're a good team. What they do, they do really, really well.
"Championship is so tough. I prefer Premier League teams in the Cup because it's always complicated!"
On the similarities between this game and the Carabao Cup tie with Bristol City: "Both games are so tough. Against Bristol we had two games but in one game anything can happen.
"In one game, away from home, it's always complicated."
Quotes from BBC
The players are out on the pitch at the Cardiff City Stadium and kick-off is just minutes away!
