No surprises with our team and they've gone 451 which is no surprise either
Delighted with that team selection. Was always the right choice but you never know do ya.
Team as expected, lots of options from the bench.
Haway the lads

Marcus Edwards on bench is a surprise for me
This will be a tough game, always tough playing a team when it's their 1st home game of the season.
Let them have the ball at the back, then press like f**k when they step into our half. Lots of energy in both CMs 3, ours has more quality so we need them to take over the game. I really rate Esteve but I'd be targeting the right hand side of the Burnley defence so hopefully a big game from Adingra today
Ha'way the lads
If anyone gets a really good feed, post before kickoff
