What They Said

Slaven Bilic: "Very soon it is that time in the league when you can get in trouble.

"We have to act, and very soon you can get out of trouble but it isn't going to happen by default.

";We have to do it. Starting from tomorrow we have three mega games, three cup finals before the next international break.

"This game is a good opportunity for us, it's an interesting competition for us. It's good to have a game tomorrow night"

John Coleman: "The players have earned the right to play there with their wins over Bradford and Burnley which were two tough games.

"They have earned the right to enjoy this and the best way to properly enjoy it is to win.

"We will be going out there to win. It is hard to prepare for this one as we don't know what team they will put out but we do know their style of play."
