Andoni Iraola has challenged Bournemouth to “give everything” as they bid to upset Manchester City again and secure the club’s place in the semi-finals of the FA Cup for the first time.
The Cherries recorded a memorable home win over City in their Premier League match at the Vitality Stadium in November.
Having edged past Wolves following a penalty shoot-out to book a spot in the last eight, Iraola accepts the draw could have been kinder than to send Pep Guardiola’s star-studded side back to the south coast on Sunday.
The Bournemouth boss, though, feels everyone at the club can unite to help push the team on to a “dream” trip to Wembley.
“We have a big opportunity. We know the challenge, we know who we face, but the reward is very big,” he told a press conference.
“I don’t know if it is going to be enough to beat City, but everyone has to give everything – the ones who play, the ones who don’t play, us from the bench, the supporters from their place – because at the end, the reward for everyone is huge.
“You face a competition with the chance to play in Wembley, which probably for City, because they have been there a lot of times, is not so important, but for us definitely it is something that we have dreamed of.”
