We know they are fighting for the title but for us every point is very important for the top four. It’s an important game.We know we’re going to play a very strong side, but first of all we need to keep the solidity that we’ve shown in the last games, and defend very well as a team because they are a big threat.“And if we take our chances, I think we’ve proved ourselves already this season when we won (2-1) in the League Cup (in August).“I think it’s a big game, and everyone’s looking forward to it.”
