New Bristol City manager Steve Cotterill has said that his side must be "humble" when they face Tamworth in the second round of the FA Cup.

Bristol travel to the Lamb Ground on Sunday to play the Conference Premier outfit, who are 45 places below them in the league standings.

The match will be Cotterill's first game in charge of the League One side, following his appointment on Thursday.

"There's no point in us going there and thinking we're fantastic," Cotterill told BBC Radio Bristol.

"We're nearly bottom of the league ourselves. We have to go there and be thoroughly professional, but humble.

"I've had a few good cup runs and it would be great to have one with Bristol City. The cup has been pretty good for me over the years so hopefully that continues."

Bristol beat Dagenham & Redbridge 3-0 in the first round of the competition.
