Burnley will be looking to frustrate the life out of Manchester United on Tuesday night and they make no apologies for it as the Clarets fight for Premier League survival.
Erik Pieters acknowledged that home form must improve after just one win in the last 18, but believes the points will come. “It’s weird. We are a strong side, especially at home. When they told me [the stat] I thought, ‘Nah, it can’t be true’, but of course you go back and look and it’s not good,” he said.
“We definitely need to work on that. But it’s the Premier League and every single game is different. At this point I don’t care how many points we get at home or away. The main thing is that we get the points.”
Burnley are bottom of the table and three points from safety; Man United are fourth in the league but there are just four points between themselves and Wolves in eighth, with United having played more than most of their direct rivals.
