PRE-MATCH
Carlos Carvalhal said: “This will be our hardest week in the season so far, absolutely sure. It will probably be our hardest week because it’s not just the question of playing a lot of games in a short time.
“It is the question also that we have played in difficult conditions so it makes it more difficult to us for sure.
“Between Sunday and Saturday, we will do three very hard games. Not just games, it’s three hard games.”
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink said: “We must respect them. But we can respect them by attacking them. That is how you show them respect – by attacking them and trying to take the game to them. We must look to work on their weaknesses.”

POST-MATCH
Carlos Carvalhal said: My players are unbelievable. This week we’ve played three games against tough opponents and this is very difficult.
“But the players have worked hard and played well in all three games, and today the level was very good again.”
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink said: "It wasn't our day. We played well in the first half against a very, very good side.
“We played between the lines, we got them out of their slots and we were in control of the ball for long spells. That’s why it was disappointing that they scored in the manner they did.”
