Scott Parker’s pre-match comments
“They’re a strong team, I think you see that.
“It’s a team that have been in and around this division for some time and they know their way around the football pitch. A well-organised team and they've done a fantastic job since going in there.
“It'll be a tough game for us. Like I said, it's a team that's been established now in the Premier League for a number of years and they know how to get results. Certainly at home for them as well is a tough place to go.
“On the flip side, as always, we'll prep for this game. We're going into this game looking at trying to go and get a result here this weekend and I feel we can pose problems for this team as well, so we'll go there with full steam ahead.”
