Burnley can win the title in tonight’s East Lancashire derby against Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park.
Boss Vincent Kompany claimed the EFL Championship Manager of the Month prize on Sunday night, but that’s not the only piece of silverware the Manchester City legend is wanting to get his hands on.
“It means the players have done a good job,” he said, when asked about the award. “It means the staff that I’m surrounded with have been really supporting me in a right way and I don’t draw too many more conclusions to that. I’d like to have the Championship trophy and that’s the most important thing to me.”
Here is the predicted line-up as the Clarets go for a sixth win on the bounce against their rivals.
