"This game is special for our supporters, special for our city and for ourselves.
"The opponent is doing well in the table, the opponent has scored more goals than anyone else, the opponent wants promotion and it is an opponent that has the money to buy the players they wanted.
"The opponent also has a manager who is one of the best managers in the Championship and he has got promoted already with two clubs and has a lot of knowledge.
"We are improving every week and our confidence is growing and we have the winning mentality I want."

"It means everything to the fans and means everything to the players. There is just three points available but there is the added spice of being a derby game - but we are there to win maximum points.
"Normally derbies either end up being flops because nobody wants to give anything away or you can end up with a really exciting game but they were really tight games last season.
"Paulo Sousa has done a superb job, it is always difficult going into a football club when the previous manager has done well and you have to continue that.
"It is good for south Wales that both sides are doing well - and I have a lot of respect for Paulo as he is a really knowledgeable and astute manager."
