Coach Anthony Wright: "It's a huge game, and it's a reward for how hard they've worked over the course of the season.
"To have a play-off game at the stadium will also be a great experience and against a tough, Premier League side, we're really looking forward to it.
"We'd love to get as far as we can in the play-offs, but making it here was also one of our main objectives."
