Press news in...

Daniel Farke's pre-Sheffield Wednesday press conference will be underway shortly.
--------------------------------------------------------------

DF: We know we are starting to get into the crunch time of the season. We spoke before the Luton game how it's important to be even more greedy after a spotlight game against Brentford.

DF: After a few days and a mini-break, we need to keep going in the same way.

DF: We know the league is competitive, you have big clubs struggling but they're always capable to win points. We don't look at other results, we know if we achieve a certain amount of points, that is all that matters.

DF: If we get three points, it's always 'our' weekend.

DF: It's a great chance for Sheffield Wednesday to change their momentum and work on their self-confidence. It's like a free shot for them.

DF: Darren Moore is a great guy and a good coach. He had a difficult start in his first game and then played against a top side with ten men. They will have used this week to regroup - I expect them to be there with a good fighting spirit.

DF: And they have some top players. Bannan, Reach, Paterson, Rhodes, Lees - we have to be on top of our game on Sunday.

DF: We had a spotlight game against Brentford and we dominated this game to win. But we've also been patient against teams lower down the league and in mid-table. I've been impressed with how we've adapted to the challenges.

DF: We want to achieve 80 points to secure our place in the play-offs. We now have three games in six days so a busy time and plenty of points available.

DF: My win percentage after being nominated [for manager of the month] must be the lowest ever in the whole history of the club! As long as I'm nominated I'm a happy man!

DF: Adam Idah will miss the game due to a problem with his hernia. Little doubt behind Ben Gibson with hamstring problems. He's been training individually but it's too early to confirm if he's available tomorrow.

DF: Marco Stiepermann and Orjan Nyland are both available after a proper training week, now it's up to competition for places.

DF: I have an unbelievable amount of respect for Chris Wilder. We had a tricky start to our relationship, I had to earn his respect. We have a really good relationship, what he has achieved in recent years is remarkable, he is a legend.

DF: When you have a point deduction, it's important to get your season going. You're already fighting for the play-offs. It's a complicated season for them.

DF: (INTERNATIONAL BREAK) I hope the people running the game make the right decision when playing games after the break, in terms of fair play and safety.

DF: If I wanted individual awards, I'd play tennis.

DF: I am used to missing out on individual awards. My win percentage when I am nominated must be the lowest in history

DF: Ben Gibson is a doubt with a hamstring problem. Adam Idah is out with a hernia problem. he might require surgery and will see a specialist on Monday.
