Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg: “Chelsea are a fantastic team, they’ve showed that with the results, with the investments they’ve made, they’ve done incredible. But we are there, we are ready. We’re at home in our beautiful stadium with our fans, let’s say, putting on all the pressure they can, and we’ll do the same on the pitch. We’re ready for a massive fight.”

Thomas Tuchel on the sub plot of Harry Kane vs Romelu Lukaku: “I find that Romelu plays a bit higher up the pitch and Harry Kane also likes to drop into number 10 positions, to pockets and turn and to assist. He has a super partnership with Son, so he is very strong in finding space between the lines. I find Romelu up higher in the pitch. But they also have similarities. They love to score and they score whenever they play, they are up for it and it is a certain mindset that you cannot learn. I am pretty sure they both started showing this mindset when they started playing football when they were five, six, seven years old. These guys are born to score goals.”
