EDDIE Howe told Cherries’ fledglings to “savour every moment” of their FA Youth Cup quarter-final clash with Manchester City.

The under-18s have reached the last eight for only the second time in club history and take on strong opposition in City at Vitality Stadium tomorrow (7pm).

First-team boss Howe told the Daily Echo: “My message would be to savour every moment, enjoy it and do your best. If you do all those things, you will have no regrets.

“These games are very special. I look back on my experiences in the FA Youth Cup with fondness, even to this day.

“You want that feeling of giving your all in the game and not putting too much pressure on yourself.”

The fixture will provide supporters with a chance to see Cherries’ emerging talents in action.

Howe said: “The Bournemouth fans have always been superb in that respect. I think there is a real interest in the youth team and younger age groups and there is a real support for them.

“I know the club, and the supporters are huge within that, have really wanted to push young players into the team and this will be a great experience for them.

“The better the atmosphere, the better the game.”
