Scott Parker hints at making changes to his Burnley side for 'unique' Hull City test

The Clarets head to Humberside this evening (7.45pm kick-off) looking to make it back-to-back wins after overcoming Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 at the weekend.

Now unbeaten in seven, Parker could be forgiven for sticking with the side that performed so well at Hillsborough.

But with three games in the space of a week, Burnley’s head coach suggested he might look to make a few tweaks.

When asked if there are likely to be changes at the MKM Stadium, Parker said: “Yeah maybe, there’s an opportunity there with a three-game week. It’s definitely something we’re going to have to look at.

“We will see how the boys come out of Saturday’s game, but it’s a busy week for us and with the games coming thick and fast there’s probably an element of us needing to freshen things up. But we will see how the boys come back and then we will prep accordingly.

“I’ve got a squad here and I anticipate to use that squad when need be. I trust every single one of those players.

“As always, we will see how those players recover and then we’ll take a call from there.”

Burnley lost top spot on Sunday when Hull were narrowly beaten 1-0 by Sunderland, thanks to a controversial goal from Wilson Isidor.

After winning three on the bounce, the Tigers have now lost their last two and have struggled at home especially, winning just one of their five games to date.

Despite that, Parker is expecting a challenging test, adding: “They’re a good side. They play a real unique way. They’re a side that will cause teams problems by the way they play, so it’s another tough game away from home.

“As always, we will prep to go there to try and dominate and put our stamp on the game like we did on Saturday.

“In terms of the mentality and the way we were on Saturday, it’s quite a simple message to the players, we want the same again. But there will be different aspects against Hull in terms of tactical things that we’ll need to look at.”
