Laws: Owls ready to give City the blues in replay

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY manager Brian Laws has warned close friend Stuart Pearce there will be “no easy ride” for Manchester City in their FA Cup third-round replay.

The Owls deserved their return to Eastlands on January 17 after holding their Premiership opponents to a 1-1 draw at Hillsborough.

City looked on course for the last 32 when striker Georgios Samaras scored a 78th-minute penalty after Kenny Lunt felled Micah Richards. But within 80 seconds Laws’ Championship side were level when Steve MacLean beat goalkeeper Nicky Weaver with a low curling shot from 18 yards.
