"I know they started the season very well and have some very good football players," he told www.mcfc.co.uk

"The two strikers are very good and one of them scored twice at the weekend, the left-sided midfielder is good too and the son of the manager, Johnson, is a good footballer.

"I'm sure it'll be a good, interesting game and I've seen it's on television as well.

"They are a club with a big history, been promoted into the Championship and have started well in the league, so who knows."

On his own team Sven said

"We are going to have a very good team.

"We'll make some changes because I think it's right to do it, I want to see some of the other players that haven't played very much so far.

"It will be a good team, where almost all of them on the pitch are international players.

"We take it seriously, of course we do, you have to do that knowing that we haven't won anything for a long time.

"We are in three competitions and they are extremely important for us. We don't play in Europe unfortunately, so we don't have that, but I hope we will have it in the future. But this competition is serious business."
