Glenn RoederRoeder on the draw:

“We’ll take that. Of course it will be a tough game, but we’re at home so that is a bonus for us.

“You have to take what you get in these draws, and while Chelsea are the champions and full of quality players, they will know it won’t be easy when they come to our place.

“We will look forward to the game when it comes around and prepare properly for it, but in the meantime we have some important games in the league and the UEFA Cup coming up so will focus on them and deal with Chelsea when that game comes around.”
