- Asked whether his team selection would show who is with him, Tudor gave the team news: Romero is back. For the first time since he arrived, he will have the players who usually play in defence available.
- Asked about his angry reaction when he came off on Thursday, Porro said, in the translated answer, that it was not about the manager. He gives 200% and never likes losing.
- Tudor said Romero had not felt good about being unable to help, and did extra running with the fitness coach to get in shape. He is sure Romero will be a leader tomorrow.
- Asked about a passionate training session, Tudor said sessions are getting better as important players return. Old habits sometimes take more time to change than expected.
- Asked whether Europe is a free hit, Tudor agreed and said the Premier League is their first aim. Europe is something extra, but that does not mean they do not want to go through.
- Asked about Richarlison, who scored against Fulham, Tudor said he will start tomorrow. Asked in which position, he said he had already said enough.
- Tudor pointed to the coach's mentality, the team's experience in this competition and players who can score at any moment. Staying so many years at one club means something, he said.
- In the translated answer, Porro said he knew Tudor would be a manager who helped them a lot. He has only been in for three weeks and still has to learn everything about them, and they about him.
