Lewis King looks ahead to this game:
“We know it is going to be a tough game. We played them last preseason, we weren’t quite where we are now, so it will be a good game.
“They’re obviously where they are in the league. We know it is going to be a tough test.
“We that Axel will have his team up for it and we know how they play. We know that they’re going to stick it on us and see how we are. So, we have to deal with that and then we’ve got to just play our game and what will be will be.
“But we know there is going to be a good crowd and were looking forward to getting out there.”

Brad Munn looks ahead to this game:
“ We’re playing a top side against a manager that I started out assisting. We are still friends.
“It’ll be two good teams having a go at each other because they won’t take a backward step and we certainly won’t.
“So, hopefully, we get a load of their fans come through the gate, a load of our fans come through the gate. The club are trying to obviously do their bit with thee happy hours and things like that to have a bit of Christmas cheer in that Boxing Day fixture.
“So, it’ll be a good game, and no one will want to give any ground up. So, we’ll go toe-to-toe and hopefully we can come out on the right end of the result.”
