What are both managers' saying ahead of the match?
Pep Guardiola:
"We know how we are going to play, it is a final every single game. And what I saw last game against Chelsea, they (Cardiff) are alive. They have spirit and do it well. They are not a team already done."
On the subject of Neil Warnock's reaction to Chelsea's controversial equaliser on Sunday: "Is there someone who cannot understand his reaction? It's tough for the clubs, managers, players. Staying in Premier League is a big issue. I have empathy for his position. I understand completely about what he said."
Neil Warnock: "We go to Manchester City on Wednesday. It's a game we've got to do our best in. They've got two teams in their squad and I doubt any of our boys could get in either of them.
"What we have got is a team - they're genuine lads. It was never a game we had big expectations from, but we've got to lift ourselves and put in a performance up in Manchester.
"In the last seven games I'm going to do the best I can with this group of lads for the fans."
