Notts County winger Craig Westcarr believes that even though Manchester City have a team full of stars, his teammates will not have any sense of inferiority when both clubs face each other on Sunday
Manchester City are set to host Notts County in the FA Cup fourth round replay and Notts County's Westcarr believes that they can put on a sparkling performance and win the tie.
The winger said today: "It's a big game and we're looking forward to it. We've got nothing to lose," he said.
"We can go there and play our stuff. We will be able to play our passing football because it's a great pitch at Eastlands.
"We believe we can get a win, like we did before the first game, and we almost did it at Meadow Lane
"I don't think they underestimated us. They played their strongest team, apart from Tevez.
"I think they were maybe a bit surprised by how good and physical we are. I don't think they expected it.
"We're under no illusions, it's going to be a tough game but we all have the same feeling we did before the first game.
"Manchester City have got world-class players and I think Tevez and (David) Silva, who are their two key men, will both play – but we're no fools."
City have now spent a staggering £300m on players since Sheikh Mansour took over in 2008 and winning a trophy this season is something very crucial for Roberto Mancini to keep his job. Westcarr believes that since Manchester City are out of the Premier League title race, they will be focusing on cup competitions with the FA Cup being one of them.
"The Premier League has gone for them so I'm sure they are concentrating on the FA Cup and Europa League now," he added.
"They need to win silverware so they will really want to win the FA Cup. They will put out a strong team and we're looking forward to it."
19 days ago, Notts County were 10 minutes away from dumping Manchester City out of the FA Cup until Edin Dzeko saved City's blushes by scoring a late equaliser.
