“I’ve had some good patches and some good games this year. I’ve been quite steady. You just need to keep sharp, because the Premier League is not a sprint, it’s a marathon.
“It would be absolutely fantastic to win here, but you need to make sure you keep both feet on the ground, because it’s going to be tough.
“I feel good, I feel comfortable and I think it’s going to be an amazing night.”
