They've got a number of games to catch up on. It's very difficult to fall behind in fixtures to have key members of the staff missing, both in terms of the players and the coaching staff, it does compound the challenge of avoiding relegation, of course it does.

But they will be a very hard working side and very committed. We expect it to be a tough game and how people view these fixtures always make me smile somewhat. It's expected to be a game that doesn't present the problems that other games do. It's a really tough fixture for us, on the back of our home form needs to be improved. We're aware of that.

I'm sure they'll come to our place with the intention of making things difficult for us. It will be great to go into this international break with a home win. Because we've started to put together some better performances, but we need to find a way of being consistent for longer periods of time. And that's really the aim for the rest of the season and we'll see where it takes us.
