Confirmed Teams

Swansea City

Blackburn Rovers

 

Russell Martin:ย โ€œDespite the defeat on Tuesday night, we love being here. We always look the team we want to be at home.

โ€œMaybe sometimes we are not quite as fluid or as quick as we would like, but weโ€™re creating chances and we now need to make sure we take those.

โ€œThey have some really outstanding players at this level and we need to make the most of our opportunities.โ€

Tony Mowbray:ย ย โ€œLuton went to Swansea in midweek and managed to win there because of their intensity and hard work.

โ€œHaving watched that game, Swansea are a good football team who had over 70 percent of the ball.

โ€œOn the moments of transition, when we win the ball back, can we pick those spaces and pick those runs?

โ€œWeโ€™ll have to be clinical against a side who must be fragile on the back of the results theyโ€™ve had, despite their pleasing on the eye football.
