Vincent Kompany’s pre-match comments

“There’s been a lot of narrow results and games like that [the 1-0 defeat to Wolves in the reverse fixture], but we’re five or six months further on our journey.

“A lot of players have hopefully progressed, but in the context of Tuesday, it could be anyone we’re facing and it wouldn’t really matter as to what our mindset is.

“I focus on our team. I know Wolves have got talent, the level of talent in this league is the best in the world.

“I’m saying that because all of the teams that are not considered to be in that top six or top seven, have still got very good players and Wolves is one of those teams.

“This game demands the best of us to try and get a result against these types of teams, but every single game we have that belief.”

Burnley: Muric, Vitinho, O’Shea, Esteve, Taylor, Cullen, Berge, Bruun Larsen, Odobert, Amdouni, Fofana
