Omer Riza:

“ Sheffield United away, the approach is the same all of the time," Omer began. "We have to prepare properly to get the best result that we can.”

“I’ve been involved with the competition right through my career, as a player and as a coach. When you’re playing and you’ve got the opportunity to play in it you want to go as far as you can.

“For us this is an opportunity for players to get the chance to play, who haven’t had as many minutes as they’d like, as well as youngsters who maybe haven’t had the chance to play.

“I’m sure that we’ll be ready and think that we’ll make it a tough game for Sheffield United."

Elaborating on the difference that playing in Emirates FA Cup brings, Omer cited his desire for the squad's young Bluebirds to make an impact, as City look to extend upon an unbeaten run of league form.

“We’ll approach the game seriously as we want to win it," Riza concluded. "It’ll be two teams out there competing to win the game.

“We want to give our youngsters an opportunity, though of course it’s only the ones who are ready, we won’t just be throwing players in.

“Keeping the momentum going would be positive for us, and we’ve got to keep in mind the quick turnover to Tuesday’s match. The players know that they need to be ready for it.”

Going to be a tough cup tie.

Both teams will play fringe players but their fringe players are probably better than a lot of our first team players.

“I’ve been involved with the competition right through my career, as a player and as a coach. When you’re playing and you’ve got the opportunity to play in it you want to go as far as you can.-THEN PLAY YOUR STRONGEST TEAM OR DONT MAKE STATEMENTS LIKE THAT

“I’m sure that we’ll be ready and think that we’ll make it a tough game for Sheffield United."-WELL WE WOULD HOPE THAT YOU WILL!

“We’ll approach the game seriously as we want to win it," Riza concluded. "It’ll be two teams out there competing to win the game.-AS WE WOULD EXPECT

“We want to give our youngsters an opportunity, though of course it’s only the ones who are ready, we won’t just be throwing players in.-SO WHOS READY TO PLAY AGAINST THE TOP CHAMPIONSHIP CLUB BUT WONT BE PICKED FOR OTHER CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES

“Keeping the momentum going would be positive for us, and we’ve got to keep in mind the quick turnover to Tuesday’s match. The players know that they need to be ready for it.”-4 DAYS-YOUR PROFESSIONAL ELITE ATHLETES FFS
