MATCH PREVIEW: EVERTON V BURNLEY - Image 4

Burnley welcome Brentford to Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon, aiming to continue their mini-revival in the Premier League with a much-needed home win.

Scott Parker's side have collected four points from a possible six on the road in recent weeks, with a incredible comeback victory against Crystal Palace, followed by a creditable 1-1 draw at Chelsea last weekend.

Speaking to the media ahead of the visit of the Bees to BB10 this weekend, Parker issued a rallying cry to the Clarets faithful, for what he described as a 'massive game.'

LET'S FIGHT, TOGETHER

"Let's get a result and drag some other teams into the picture!

"We've been in this situation for a while now. We've always had our gloves on and we've always been punching away.

"We've hit the floor at times, but we've always picked ourselves up off the canvas.

"Let's fight together to get a result at the weekend - then all of a sudden it might look like a different story.

"We've been the underdogs for large parts this season, it's something we're used to.

"Other teams won't be, so let's try and drag them into the picture, let's try and reduce the gap with a positive result this weekend - and make it as uncomfortable for others as possible."

BEES TEST

"I know Keith pretty well, we've had a lot of dialogue over the years.

"He's put in the hard graft and the hard yards to get him to where he is today - he deserves all the credit for that.

"I have huge respect for him and the job he is doing at Brentford.

"He's had a great first season in charge there - and I look forward to seeing him at the weekend."

HANNIBAL READY

"It goes without saying that it's a desperate situation.

"It's disgusting - and it amazes me that this (racism) is still happening these days.

"Hannibal is in a good frame of mind. That comes from a really good support base at the club, from the player care team, to the media team, and the staff in general. Those support mechanisms around him really help.

"He's cracked on this week and is ready for the weekend."

BACK AT THE TURF

"We need a result in front of our own supporters - it's vital now.

"We sense the frustrations, and we're feeling it too - I understand elements of it. We're all searching for a home win that can provide us with hope.

"It would be massive for our home supporters if we could get a win this weekend.

"If I can make one demand, it's that we all come together this weekend. Let's behind this team.

"The power of our home support can't be underestimated. Both in terms of what it brings to our players, and the way it can impact the visiting players too.

"It will come down to us, first and foremost, to set the tempo and give our supporters something to grab hold of.

"From there, I'm hoping everyone can get right behind us, and be that extra bit we need to get a positive result at Turf Moor this weekend."
