Spurs, Liverpool watch Gunnarsson's Premiership audition

Coventry City midfielder Aron Gunnarsson will be auditioning for Premiership clubs in today's FA Cup tie with Chelsea.

The 19 year-old Icelander has been linked with the likes of Tottenham, Liverpool and Newcastle United in recent weeks and he said: "I like to get stuck in and run by socks off and that's why English football suits my style.

"I will play like that against Chelsea but I'm not going to be silly. I am fully respectful of everyone.

"I have nothing to lose. They have things to lose. If I play well and they don't, then people will be talking about them and that they didn't do enough.

"If I don't play well then that's what it should be like so I have no pressure on me to prove myself. They should have the pressure on them. They have got bigger names, big stars, more money but all the pressure is on them. We have to play our game and see what happens."
