Leeds United boss Sam Allardyce believes he could challenge for the treble with Manchester City if he was in charge of the Premier League leaders.
The Whites travel to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon sitting in 17th place and separated by the relegation zone on goal difference.
Man City are on course for a fifth Premier League title in six seasons, and could also become only the second English club to win the continental treble.

They face Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, and local rivals Manchester United in the FA Cup final. City head into the game on a nine-match winning streak in the Premier League, and an unbeaten run stretching 19 games across all competitions.
But Allardyce, who replaced Javi Gracia as manager on Wednesday, is confident he could have City challenging if he had the opportunity to manage such "high quality players".
"Absolutely [get Man City challenging for the treble]," Allardyce claimed in an interview with Sky Sports. "Because the players make you a really good manager and a good coach, and your job is to be able to communicate with those players.
"We all have our own pressures but to deal with the high quality players that they have is a dream come true for you as a coach."
