"It is massive but, as I said, every game is massive at this stage of the season. We know that and we have to go and put in a 10 out of 10 performance.
"We know that we need to be at our best and at our best I think we can do anybody. I think we can get one over anyone. We need to be on it and make sure we are ready."
LIVE: Brentford v Burnley
Tarkowski makes amends
Tarkowski atones for his error by getting back goal side of Mbeumo to clear inside the box.
Over the bar
Janelt gets above Taylor to meet a Canos cross but, with Pope stranded, he heads just over the crossbar.
Brilliant tackle
Janelt looks certain to score when the ball falls fortuitously into his path, but Tarkowski makes an outstanding challenge.
Off the line
Mbeumo’s first time effort has Pope beaten, but Tarkowski gets back to his line to block.
Wide of the post
McNeil times his run perfectly to get on the end of Westwood’s cross, but he gets his header all wrong. Big chance for Burnley.
