Newport vs Manchester City: Pep Guardiola says League Two team are BETTER than his side ‘in some areas’
Pep Guardiola claims Manchester City’s FA Cup fifth round opponents Newport County are BETTER than his side ‘in some areas’.League Two Newport host the reigning Premier League champions on Saturday afternoon in their first fifth round fixture since 1949 – and talkSPORT brings you full commentary of the match LIVE from Rodney Parade.2

Newport’s run to the fifth round has been one of the success stories of this season’s FA Cup

The Exiles have had to play six matches just to reach this stage of the competition, and they have triumphed over Premier League opposition already; Leicester were defeated 2-1 in the third round.Padraig Amond has been the star of their cup run, with the forward netting in every round of the competition so far this season to take his FA Cup tally to five goals in his last eight appearances.Nonetheless, City are almost universally backed to end Newport’s historic campaign on Saturday evening, with Guardiola’s side one of the favourites to win the competition outright. They’ve scored 13 goals without reply in their two FA Cup matches so far this term, but a shadow hangs over City as they were dumped out the competition at this stage last season.Will Grigg’s 79th-minute goal was the difference as Wigan shocked City last February, and Guardiola has promised he won’t take Saturday’s opponents lightly as Newport are BETTER than his side ‘in some areas’.“We are going to suffer because they are taller and stronger than us,” Guardiola said. “In some areas they will be better than us.

Newport County manager Michael Flynn

Guardiola’s opposite number, Michael Flynn told talkSPORT he cannot wait for what is a real ‘David versus Goliath’ encounter and has belief his side can pull off one of the competition’s great upsets.I know youre probably thinking, Has he lost the plot here? Is he actually thinking they can do something? But If I dont think that then how are my players going to believe that?Ive got to lead them the right way and give them the belief that if they can play the game of their lives they can stop the likes of Aguero and De Bruyne.”
