Look, it’s more than a derby on Sunday. It is a semi-final and our last chance of winning a trophy this year. We will have to throw everything at it. Whoever starts or finishes the game will have to give everything they got. I have told the players in the morning that don’t come out of that field with anything left in the tank, we need to empty everything when we leave that field tomorrow [Sunday]. We have to be at our best, there is no second chances.

Look there is every chance. What is needed is a positive mindset. Tomorrow is 90 minutes of football, it is going to be a good game. Two top sides, both teams would want to play good football. I am sure it is going to be entertaining. I have told the boys we need to dominate possession, if we can dominate possession, we will create chances, relax in front of the goal and take them. We don’t concede too many and so we will have to make sure we keep clean sheet. We have to go there with positive mind, it’s our only opportunity.

We have got only one injury. Only Isaac [Kaliati] is still out with ankle injury and so he will not be available. Apart from that, everyone is available.
