"It's important when you switch competitions to remain focused because cup competition is definitely different to the league," says Davids.
"We will approach the game like a cup game, knowing that we come off a defeat and we will want to bounce back.
There are a lot of positives to take out of the last match and we take those positives into this match knowing that we are facing a difficult side, who likes to have possession of the ball.
