Robert Snodgrass – currently involved in scrapping for a first team place over Felipe Anderson – knows exactly what to expect from Burnley on Saturday afternoon.
It seems a certainty that the Scot will be involved either from the start or as a sub against the Clarets who have conceded nine goals in their last two games and taken four points from a possible last 12.
Snoddy said: “I think you know what to expect with Burnley and, if you don’t know, you will know come three o’clock on Saturday. They’ll be right up for it and fighting for every ball, but we’ve got to be fighting for every ball.
“As I’ve said many times, we’ve got to bring the atmosphere and, as much as the fans rally forward, you’ve got to bring that by working hard. It’s for the badge. We keep going and we must push forward everybody as a unit and get the victory on Saturday.”
He added: “We need to work hard to get it right against Burnley. We need to get on the ball and try to make things happen.
” There’s been a good level of performance, especially over the last month or so and the fans are starting to see that. It was a good atmosphere against Tottenham and they were right behind us singing all the way through the game. This is what it needs.
“We just need that little bit of luck for a goal and we get two or three in and it’s a comfortable victory. I think the biggest things for us is that it’s small margins at this level.”
“I’m working as hard as I possibly can with my head down. I’m working to show a level of performance. I’m trying to get assists and goals I will try and push forward and get on the score sheet in the Premier League as well. I’m looking forward to Saturday to get three points for this club.”
