“I’m under no pressure, I said that the first time I took the job, taking the job is a challenge, so I’m not under the pressure to win the trophy on Sunday,” Nuttall said in a press conference.
“We are taking Sunday’s game very serious regardless who is playing, we are mentally ready to play.
”I’m focused on my team, we deal with who we have to deal with, we have to show a strong attitude on Sunday.”
The last time the two sides met in the FA Cup final was in 1990 where Asante Kotoko defeated Hearts 4-2.
