Scott Parker’s pre-match comments

“A tough game against a well-organised team, a well coached side who are coming off the back of a really positive result as well.

“They have some really good individual talent and the main ethos around it is a team, so it’s a difficult place to go, like we know.

“But we're looking forward to this game and we've built it up over the last couple of days in terms of: let's look forward to this now.

“I often say to the players as a young boy, when you're an eight-year-old boy, all you ever do is dream of putting a pair of football boots on and running out in a stadium and playing in the Premier League. There's another opportunity for us all to do that.

“I played 20 years and in the blink of an eye it flashed away. It only seemed like yesterday when I was playing. The opportunity is there for us again, even though it's a testing time for us.

“That opportunity is there and we're blessed and these are blessed. Don't let that slip. Let's go in now with just full force and see what we get.”
