What are the managers saying ahead of Colchester vs Tottenham Hotspur?

John McGreal, Colchester:"The Spurs game is a credit to the club and what we've done in the cups, this year. "For the boys and girls who were at Crystal Palace, this is a great reward for them.

"The tickets are already sold out and it could have been sold three times over.

"It's a great game for us to go and enjoy – that's the main thing.

"It's a great game for the football club and it puts us on the map again really. "We've drawn Premier League teams in the last two rounds and it's a game to go and enjoy.

"Listen, it's Tottenham Hotspur coming to our ground.

"It's been a sell-out for a number of weeks and it's an unbelievable game for the fans that have travelled away to Crystal Palace in the last game (in the Carabao Cup).

"It's a great reward for them as well and it's a game that we can all enjoy.

"They beat Tranmere by six goals in the cup last season and they are a formidable team."

Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham Hotspur: "How seriously [does Spurs take the upcoming match]? Like all the games. We took seriously [against Leicester] and we took seriously the game we lost against Newcastle. We are going to take seriously, we need to avoid this type of question because it's a question that (suggests) we don't take matches seriously.

"If we play Hugo Lloris - because he didn't play [against Leicester] - are we going to take it more seriously than if we play Paulo Gazzaniga? Or [against Leicester] we took less seriously because we played Paulo instead of Hugo?

All the competitions we take seriously. For different reasons we need games. The young players need games to improve and try to show their quality and maybe fight for a place in the starting XI in the Champions League or Premier League.

"We are going to have a mix, we will assess the squad because we are going to have a very tough period and we need to manage the squad. We are going to be there trying to win the game."
