Blues face a tough record.BLUES will have to crack Burnley's 100 per cent home record if they are to come away with anything tomorrow. The Clarets have been hammered 3-0, 4-0 and 5-0 on their travels, but posted impressive victories over Manchester United, Everton and Sunderland at Turf Moor Turf Moor is a football stadium located in Burnley, Lancashire, and is the home ground of English football club Burnley F.C.

An involuntary trembling or quivering. . "Certainly, our away games have been tougher but we've proved on our travels against Manchester United and Tottenham that we can live with them so why should we fear anything because the evidence is there? ''It's not as if we're going into the land of the unknown. "Burnley, they're based on good, solid team work, they get behind the ball really well. "They play one up, they have played one up most of the season, whether they change that I don't know. "But certainly they have used the system well and they try to go forward, the way we try to create goals from our one-up system. ''They play with the right intentions and they've been exceptional in doing that at home." BestBet 9/2 Blues to be winning 1-0 at half-time With Charlie McCann |
