“We have to take that into account and he will be wanting to make his mark on the Premier League in general. I think they are a top team.”
“Again, they are gunning for the top four, the size of club they are. We won’t be under any illusions, it’s going to be a tough game but we have to trust in ourselves, be confident at home, play well and try and win the game.”
