Burnley welcome Nottingham Forest to Turf Moor for a vital home fixture on Saturday, where they will be desperate to turn encouraging performances into crucial points.
Despite their lowly league position, Scott Parker’s side have shown they can compete, pushing both Manchester United and Liverpool all the way in recent weeks.
The team has suffered two devastating late defeats in a row, however, conceding stoppage-time penalties in both games.
This has left them with little to show for their spirited efforts. Therefore, this match against a fellow struggling side is the perfect opportunity for the Clarets to show their mental strength and finally get a result over the line.

Scott Parker will be forced into a midfield reshuffle for Saturday’s game, as Lesley Ugochukwu is suspended following his late red card against Liverpool.
As a result, Josh Cullen is expected to partner Josh Laurent in the centre of the park. The manager is also without long-term absentees Jordan Beyer, Connor Roberts, and Zeki Amdouni due to injury. Up front, Lyle Foster will lead the attack. He will be supported by winger Jaidon Anthony, who has an excellent personal record of scoring against Forest.
