While Antonio Conte’s side will understandably go into tonight’s fixture as favourites, Moses says there will be no danger of complacency within the squad.

‘If you look at the team right now we are all very fit which is helping,’ he says. ‘We want to carry on winning matches but this won’t be an easy game, they’re a League One side and it’s often difficult to play against teams from the lower leagues. The manager is clear in what he wants us to do and with the ability we have in the side, hopefully we can put that all together and win the game.

‘This season every trophy is important, whether it’s the League Cup, FA Cup or Premier League. I think it’s going to be a very interesting season for us. We have lots of players who are capable of winning us games so as long as we stick together as a team we should do well.’

Moses’s compatriot John Mikel Obi will return to Cobham soon following his exploits with the Nigeria team at the Olympics in Brazil, where they finished third after beating Honduras in the bronze-medal match on Saturday.

‘I was watching the games,’ Moses reports. ‘Obi was the captain, the leader of the side and he did really well for them. It wasn’t easy for them to go out to Brazil and win a medal so I’m very proud.

‘They did their best so to come home with a bronze medal is great and I hope the whole country are proud of them.’
