Pulis vows to 'give it a go' at City

"I am looking to pick a positive team and go there to have a right go," Pulis said. "The game on Saturday is an important one for us and the 5,000 or 6,000 supporters who will make the trip. "They will want to see the team have a go and we'll want to give it a go. If you can catch it right it is a knockout competition and a one-off game." Manchester City will be without new signing Adam Johnson, who is cup-tied having played against City for former club Middlesbrough in the third round. But the youngster has already made a big impression on his team-mates following a superb performance in the midweek win over Bolton. "Some supporters might have been surprised by the quality and confidence he showed against Bolton but the players weren't," Joleon Lescott told City's website. "He was outstanding in that game. We have seen what he can do in training and we know what he brought to the team in Middlesbrough. "He can't play in the cup but I am sure he is going to be a really good addition to the squad for us."
