Lauren Smith challenges Bristol City to set the standards as she plots Manchester City cup upset

Lauren Smith says a blend of confidence and ambition can be the main ingredients for a Conti Cup quarter-final upset when Bristol City host holders Manchester City at Ashton Gate this evening.

The Vixens are plotting revenge from 12 months ago when the two sides met at the same stage of the competition with Man City running out 3-1 winners. Smith says her team are in a better place this time around to pull off a result, particularly with the home advantage.

City currently sit second in the Women's Championship having won seven and lost just one of their 10 matches this season. Their opponents, on the other hand, are fourth in the Women's Super League (WSL) and remain very much in the title hunt.
