Davies wants Manchester City quarter-final to get crazy

Hull City defender Curtis Davies is hoping for a "crazy" occurrence as his side bid to shock Manchester City in the League Cup quarter-finals.

Steve Bruce's team travel to Manchester on Tuesday having knocked out the Premier League's surprise high-flyers Leicester City on penalties in the last 16.

"It is a quarter-final of a cup competition and the onus will be on them to go and beat us," he said.

"If we can spring a little upset – or at least go as far as we can in the game without conceding – then you know you are only one goal or a penalty away from getting through to the semi-finals.

"We will go there as massive underdogs, but crazy things happen in football.

"A couple of years ago I don't think many people expected us to get to an FA Cup final, so let's keep our fingers crossed for another upset."

Steve Bruce's side head into the match having hit a sticky patch in the Championship, drawing at Bristol City before suffering a 2-0 home loss to Derby County.
