"It's difficult because we have played twice against them and lost twice against them. The good thing for us is that it is the first game we play at home [against them] and we have the support of our fans, who will be supportive again tomorrow night because that is what they have always been and will always be for this club."
"What I liked after we conceded the 1-1 was immediately the commitment they [the players] have. They sprinted back in a counter-attack moment with seven or eight players to make sure we didn't concede again to make it 2-1 and a moment later they sprinted forward with five, six or seven to help."
"There haven't been many games where we have been outworked or where we haven't created more chances than the other team have created. So our players will show that mentality again that they showed after the 1-1 and I am 100% sure that our fans will be like they always are."
