Defender previews Friday's clash with Norwich

Maxime Estève says that finishing this week with three points would top off a successful few days for the Clarets, after winning at Coventry last weekend and then returning home with a point on Tuesday night from Derby County.

The Clarets take on Norwich City at Turf Moor live on Sky Sports on Friday night and the defender knows the threat the Canaries will bring, but has full focus on taking all three points into the weekend.

Speaking to Clarets+ ahead of the game, Estève said: "We play first this weekend. We're back at home in front of our supporters and we will need a big support and good atmosphere.

"If we were to take seven points from three games, with two of them away from home, then this would be a very successful week and make it a very nice weekend, but we know it will be tough."

On Friday's opponents, Estève added: "They are a very good team, they have some individual players who are honestly very good. We know it's going to be a tough game, but we are ready and that's the thought of everyone in the dressing room.

"We are all calm going into the last few games and all we are thinking about is taking three points from each game."

If the Clarets are to record a 30th clean sheet of the season on Friday night it would break an English football record and Estève's formidable partnership with CJ Egan-Riley has played a crucial role in that.

"The partnership is incredible, we compliment each other very well. We talk in the game, outside of football and he's a friend now to me.

"He's a very good guy and a very good player, so easy to get along with and play with. Honestly, it's such a pleasure to play together and defend like we do."

Estève has quickly become a fan favourite at Turf Moor and the Frenchman and his family are a big fan of his well-known 'STEVE' chant, whenever the defender makes a challenge or interception.

"Honestly, this is crazy, this is very good for me and thank you, yeah, I say to the camera thank you for your amazing support, the fan base is incredible.

"This club is very special to me and the fans have been amazing ever since I came here. Whenever my family come over they say 'oh wow this is crazy' and always join in the chant, they enjoy it."
