Notable Remarks from Nico Gonzalez
Speaking about the weight of the fixture: "It's really important. We face a strong side and now they are second. Hopefully we can be happy after the final whistle."
Regarding the threat Bournemouth present: "We understand their approach, how intense and physical they are. They cover ground so much and turn each match very difficult."
Speaking about today as the initial of three matches at home back-to-back: "Beginning with a three points now would be brilliant.
