"First of all we need to recover from today's game,” Iwobi told evertontv after Saturday’s draw at Brentford.
"But we just have to match their energy and match their fighting spirit but we have shown that in every game so far.
"I am sure we will analyse and reflect on today's game and we will prepare for the game against Leeds.
"It's not going to be easy playing away as well.
