“We approach every game the same, whether or not it’s Arsenal, whether or not it’s in the league or the cup. We want to be on the front foot, we want to dominate, but most importantly we have to be aggressive and match them physically. If we don’t do that then football can be difficult.

“We’ve had a lot of matches recently but a lot of good results so everyone’s very positive. The mood around the place is great so hopefully we can carry that into Wednesday night. We know how much this means to everyone.”
