"I was thinking about it this week leading into the game. The build-up to that, the preparations and the principles we took into the game. We were two down but playing well in the game. We didn't let it knock us, we kept believing and stuck to the game plan and got the goal back before half-time. Obviously it was a memorable second half!"
"We mentioned that to the players, on Saturday everything is possible. I think you've got to go into every game believing and if not you may as well not turn up. We've got to go in with belief but also an understanding of the underdog mentality and what boxes we've got to tick to make this evening as difficult as possible for Chelsea."
"Wrexham's most famous moment came in 1992 when Fourth Division Wrexham stunned the Gunners with late goals from Mickey Thomas and Steve Watkin in a shock 2-1 come-from-behind win over Arsenal. This season they have already seen off one Premier League side, beating Nottingham Forest 4-3 on penalties in the third round after a 3-3 draw at home."
