They will surely try and press us high up the pitch

And look to get the ball forward quickly largely bypassing midfield.

If they come and sit back, trying to play it out from defence we will absolutely murder them. So it’s pretty clear to me they won’t do that.

They’ll try and do what we did to Swansea under lambert.

We need to be good enough to beat their press, which we should be. First 20 mins are crucial.

Their fitness also will be miles off ours, which will come into play last 20 mins. So long as they have spent the whole match camped in their box defending a slim lead, they’ll be exhausted and we’ll score more.
