“We want to go as far in the tournament as we possibly can and I think you always have to take competitions like this one seriously.
“We also have to take Sunderland seriously. They are a very, very good team and have cleverness and good ball delivery through the likes of Aiden McGeady and Alex Pritchard, who I know well. They have energy and are a good team.”
