Michael Mifsud says his side will approach their Fourth Round tie with Millwall the same as if they were playing the Premier League Champions.

The Coventry forward was recently presented with his Player of the Third Round award, sponsored by E.ON, following his eyecatching display against Blackburn Rovers.

He scored twice as Coventry upset the Premier League outfit at Ewood Park. His performance earned the nomination of E.ON Managing Director, Retail, Graham Bartlett, who presented Mifsud with the award.

"It’s a real pleasure to receive this award from the man who nominated me and I am really proud to win this," said the striker.

Coventry are at home to Millwall in the next round - a game they are favourites to win.

“It’s nice to be playing at home," he added. "But we will play Millwall like we would Man Utd and treat them with respect.

"If we get through I will be hoping for a big tie at either Man Utd or Arsenal, it would be fantastic to play at either of their stadiums.

"Many thanks to E.ON for the tickets to the Final and also the kit that will go a long way for a local school."

Bartlett, who nominated the player for the award, said: "Michael really caught my eye in what was one of the games of the round. His pace was a constant threat to Blackburn’s defence and he proved once again that he’s very comfortable on the big stage."

The FA Cup Player of the Round award, sponsored by E.ON, is presented to the outstanding player at each stage of competition, starting from the First Qualifying Round all the way to the Semi-Final.

Player of the Round winners will receive VIP hospitality for themselves and their guest at The FA Cup Final on Saturday 17 May 2008.

The winner of each award will be presented with a solid silver salver along with a kit bag of training equipment which he can donate to a local school of his choice.
