The midfielder admitted that they were eager to win the game.
Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: “You try not to get too carried away with the celebrations, we’ve worked really hard throughout the season. Some lads like me haven’t played as much through the season, and it’s about going out and enjoying it. We want to win and enjoy it. We need to take the positives and take it into the final game next week.
Elliott also spoke about his future, admitting that he would make a decision on what’s best for his career
“I think I’ve done it this season. It’s been hard with how much I’ve played. I’ve tried as hard as I could, and whatever happens, happens. It’s about what’s best for my career. It’s about reflecting and seeing what I can do. I’m here at the moment and I’m focusing on the final game.”
