Notable Remarks from the City Star
On the importance of the fixture: "It's really important. We face a strong side and now they are second. Hopefully we can be satisfied when it's over."
On the challenge Bournemouth offer: "We understand their style, their intensity and combative they are. They cover ground so much and turn each match so hard."
On today being the opening of three matches at home consecutively: "Beginning with a three points this week would be brilliant. There are three really important tests before the break for internationals and hopefully we get the three wins. We must concentrate on this game and afterwards we will see the following games."
