"It is important, but it will be difficult, and we hope that the fans will be along with us on Saturday as I'm sure they will be.
"Graham Potter did an amazing job there and they've got some great players, they're a really good team and difficult to play against as we've found out before in the past.
"They've now got a new manager [Roberto De Zerbi] which normally would give them a lot of energy. Players will be right at it, I'm sure of that, so we need to make sure that we are as well.
