What has Mauricio Pochettino said?

Chelsea boss Pochettino has said: "The pressure is always to go through in the competition. To arrive in the final, I think it's a massive achievement. We played very good games to arrive there. I think it is going to be tough for all of the circumstances. We need to be strong, have energy. The players want to be there, to be involved and to show that we are in a way that is going to be good for the team and for the club."

What has Daniel Farke said?

Leeds boss Farke has said: "We go into this with nothing to lose. We have to keep in mind there are three league games coming up, we have to take some smart decisions. In such a game when you are the underdog, I'd like to prepare in a special way, to mirror Chelsea or change the base formation but due to our schedule we won't do anything away from our normal rhythm.

"It would have an effect on upcoming league games. We stick to what we've done in the past. Try to be brave and defend really well. We know we need the best possible day to give us a chance to be successful, in this mood we will travel."
