“They have a manager I know particularly well. I helped him when I was at Leeds United on international week as I took a team down there to help with some revenue.

“They have a good chairman down there, a great manager in Gareth (Ainsworth) and his family, who we got to know, and I am looking forward to seeing him here.

“It will be a blood and thunder game for them here a few days before they go to White Hart Lane.

“They are going to have to be ready for two types of games. It will be very physical at the One Call Stadium against us and then probably a more technical game when they go to White Hart Lane.

“We are looking forward to seeing them and it will come along quick enough, but we have to put it to the back of our minds and quite rightly focus on a big derby on Saturday.”
