Bristol City boss opens up on prospect of a Man City giant-killing but rules out victory dance

Nigel Pearson acknowledges it will be sensational if Bristol City can pull off an FA Cup giant-killing but confirmed he won't be pulling out any more dance moves should the unexpected happen.

The Robins host Premier League champions Manchester City on Tuesday night following a run of 12 games without defeat but Pearson was keen to keep level-headed about the prospect of entertaining the world's best in a first career match-up against Pep Guardiola.

Even with the number of star-studded names expected to feature for the visitors tomorrow after Guardiola promised a strong side, Pearson admitted he won't compromise his tactics that have proved the foundations to remaining undefeated in 2023. Although he recognises the only way his side can pull off a result is if his players are at their absolute best and Man City's have a rare, collective off day.
