Russell Martin on Preston manager Ryan Lowe: “They’ve done brilliantly under Ryan. He did a fantastic job at Plymouth. He’s already changing the style.
“Very similar to his Plymouth side, they like to dominate the ball and press really hard. It’ll be a difficult game.
“They’ve been in a really good run of form since he’s gone in. They’re physical, aggressive and he’s turned them into a team he wants them to be.
“It’s not going to be easy as they’re physical and relentless.”
Ryan Lowe on Swansea City: “They’re very well organised, very well coached. A brand of football that’s great, risky at times, but that’s Russ, he wants to do that.
“I play the same style myself, but I have different risk elements than Russ does. They’re always on the front foot and they want to play.
“He’s got a very good coaching brain, a good coaching philosophy of where he wants to try and get Swansea City to.”
