And Martin said: “It’s a tough game. You look at the quality in their squad, I don't think they’ve lost too many [players] since relegation.

“It’s going to be an occasion I think our players are looking forward to and hopefully a loud and atmospheric stadium.

“We will attack every game trying to do it our way and trying to be a team that dictates how the game goes. We’ll just have to see where we’re at.”
