ANDONI Iraola has challenged Bournemouth to 'give everything' as they bid to upset 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 this afternoon.

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.
