When asked about the importance of taking full advantage, Parker said: “It’s always important. It's not important for other teams, it's just important for us really.
“I've said it to you for such a long time that every game, the way we've gone about this year in everything I've delivered to this group, is one game at a time.
“It's very cliche, but you just never, ever get involved in the emotion of what this division can bring and at this part of the season, certainly what it can bring as well.

“The people that get involved in the emotion of it, nine times out of ten, my experiences tell me that they normally fail.
“We've been rock-solid in terms of our focus, we've been rock-solid in our commitment to what we need to do.
“We'll enjoy tonight and the lads deserve that after a really busy week and it gives us a full week now to prep for Watford.
