The Reds are aiming to return to winning ways following the draw against Everton at Goodison Park last weekend, but the manager expects the Clarets to be just as hungry for victory as his own team.
He wrote in his column for the official matchday programme: “We arrive into this game on the back of a hard-fought draw at our local rivals Everton. I felt on the day, and the analysis after confirmed, that in terms of chances we created nearly all the ones of significance during the game. We dominated and played some really good football, so I am really pleased with the players for the determination and the quality they showed.
