"If we get a draw it will get us through, but we hope we can win it. The game we had against Olympiakos in Athens last season was probably one of our most disciplined performances in Europe. We played three midfield players with Roy Keane sitting in front of the back four and I thought we controlled the game really well. In the second half we then created a lot of chances and we may do the same thing this time."

"That game was in the Greek National Stadium but this time we play them on their own ground where it is a great atmosphere with the crowd close to the pitch. That in itself is going to be the hardest thing to overcome. We know their players well enough, they have a lot of experience and hopefully we can keep up our European form."
