Kevin Keegan: "I don't think I am any different. It's a different era, it's a different set-up, it's a different time, it's a different league, but basically, the excitement is the same.

"When I came the last time, we were in the division below and I wasn't any less excited because it wasn't the Premier League as it now is, or whatever it was then. The excitement was still there.

"The fans feel that, the players feel that and that's at every club at this time.

"Every club that survives in the Premier League down at the bottom, the fans will be excited, whether it is Sunderland, Birmingham, Middlesbrough, whoever it is.

"It's, 'Wow, another season, we have got to got to Old Trafford to play Manchester United'. It is exciting."

"The Chelsea game will be interesting. It will be a good way to test ourselves because we have not played any of the big four in those seven matches.

"They have a lot to play for and we can see how we do against a top-four side, because they are the yardstick you have got to measure yourselves by, how far away are you from them?

"We know at the moment we are slightly behind them because the league table tells us that.

"But on current form, we are playing as well as anybody in the Premier League, so it will be interesting."
