Goldson feels Saturday's victory against Portsmouth was the perfect preparation for the arrival of Jose Mourinho and his team of world class players.

The stand-in skipper registered his second goal in as many games in the 2-1 win on Saturday, even if it did come in fortunate circumstances after the defender mis-hit a looping cross.

Shrewsbury jumped up to fourth in the League Two table. They are three points behind leaders Luton.

Goldson said: "This is what football is all about. We are bringing the best team in Britain here and they are coming with probably the best manager in the world.

"But we go into it on the back of four wins on the bounce and it's a tie that the whole team and the whole town are looking forward too.

"We will have a full house here. That's the biggest thing for us. We will have a full house supporting us and we cannot wait.

"It's absolutely great that we are going into the game on the back of four straight wins. We can just go into it, relax and enjoy our football."
