Key Comments from the City Star
Speaking about the weight of the game: "This is crucial. We face a quality opponent and now they are second. Hopefully we can be satisfied when it's over."
Regarding the threat Bournemouth offer: "We're aware their style, how intense and physical they are. They run extensively and turn each match very difficult."
Regarding today as the first of a trio of home fixtures in a row: "To start with a win in this round would be brilliant.
