Bruno Lage’s side are just two points further back of Arsenal, having played one more game, and the Portuguese head coach insisted his players would not take any grudges into this evening. “It’s not about revenge,” he said. “After the game, we shake hands, say congratulations to them because they won and we move on, that’s the mentality.”
