Clarets prepare to welcome Pep's title-chasers to Turf Moor

Burnley return to Premier League action on Wednesday night, welcoming title-chasers Manchester City to Turf Moor.

The Clarets - after a disappointing final 30 minutes against Nottingham Forest on Sunday, which saw them concede four times in the second half in a 4-1 loss - know defeat against City will send them back to the Championship, while Pep Guardiola's side can leap to the summit of the division with victory in BB10.

City head to Turf Moor unbeaten in their last 10 top-flight outings, having beaten nearest rivals Arsenal 2-1, at the Etihad Stadium, on Sunday.

What Scott Parker said:

"It comes down to what the players want as individuals.

"From my side, as always the driver will be that there are certain things you can control. There are certain traits and habits you can control.

"Not getting a result or the outcome of a performance sometimes you can accept when you fall a little bit short due to many reasons, but one thing you can never fall short on is what you are in control of.

"That has to be a mainstay and that will be the message."
