“We’re going to play against an experienced coach," Lage said. "The first time I played against him was 2015 when I was assistant at Sheffield Wednesday, and after six or seven years, the manager is the same.
“Every time he’s doing well. He’s doing well in the Premier League, he did a fantastic season in the Championship in 2015.
“Also, I’ve worked with some player who’ve worked with him. I remember one, my player at Sheffield Wednesday, David Jones, so I know very well the way they play, the way they work, and it will be very hard.”

Ivory Coast international Maxwel Cornet has been responsible for four of those while striker Chris Wood has also added to his tally a couple of times.
Lage said: “They have their own style, but they have a lot of experience in English football, but also when you look at the squad, the quality they have, especially the strikers.
“You have Wood, Barnes, Vydra, Rodriguez and Cornet. Five strikers in the squad like this. Usually they play with two, but they have different kinds of players with different profiles. They have big solutions.

Crossbar
A very lucky escape for the Clarets. The visitors over-commit from a corner, Lowton’s attempt ricochets to Traore, who leads a two-on-one with Taylor as the last defender. He has the option to play in Jimenez, but chooses to go alone, and thumps an effort against the crossbar.
