Meeting Highlights…HOME PERFORMANCE
It is a different league. That is the easiest way to say it, but it doesn't take away the fact we would like to win more at home, we have been close a few times and Saturday is another opportunity for us. The hardest thing to do in football is score the first goal and that has not been a problem for us. At the moment the Premier League looks like a striker's league, we're not an exception to that and it's what makes this league the best league in the world. Teams find a way to score and we have to do the same, we need to find ways to score more.
…FOFANA
He is on track for where he is at his age. There's a reason Chelsea bought him because they think he is a big talent. I followed him before he went to Chelsea, knew him and spoke to him before, so it was nice to pick him up and we just needed his profile. What he's done so far we need another 10 times, there's no other way.
…SET PIECES
It's how you want to look at it. The positive is we do score goals from open play and that's not easy to do. When you analyse it we have been fairly dangerous at set pieces... the issue isn't creating chances from set plays, we are dangerous but we need to score more and have to believe in the next game we can do that.

Manager on Brentford...INJURY REPORT
Christian Norgaard is out of the game after sustaining a back injury in the away defeat to Arsenal. Norgaard has also pulled out of the Denmark squad. Reguilon will be back for the trip to Lancashire. Bryan Mbeumo has been on the grass for a week, he looks good, and he’s one of our best players. Rico Henry, Josh Dasilva and Ben Mee will all be out for the rest of the campaign with injuries.
...ABOUT MATCH
Every game in the Premier League is difficult. Obviously it is clear that Burnley have suffered we have also suffered in a period of games.
...BURNLEY
In their last game, they played West Ham just after they had beat us and then won at Everton away so no games are easy. It is a team I hugely respect. With Vincent Kompany and his coaching staff, you can clearly see what they are trying to do. So we need to be prepared and it is about us we need to perform.
