“We are going to a place and a team who are playing really well and are up there challenging.

“They have a manager who knows the game inside out and for me is one of the best as well.

“It’s going to be a tough game, they have a lot of quality and can hurt us at any given time, so it’s important we prepare right.

“We look forward to it, we are going into the game on the back of a win which is always a good thing and gives us a bit of confidence.

“We will go there, put on the best performance we can and hopefully we can get a positive result.”
