Wigan's Diame: I'd never heard of Burnley!

Wigan Athletic midfielder Mohamed Diame admits he'd never heard of tomorrow's opponents Burnley until he arrived in England!

The stylish midfielder told the Wigan Observer: "We have to be ready for the challenge. We have to get it into our heads that Burnley will be coming to eat us up on Saturday.

"I have to admit I'd never heard of Burnley before I came to Wigan, but I watched them beat Manchester United and that was the first time I became aware of the Burnley phenomenon.

"I've done a lot of learning about English football since I've been here. Every team is new and every stadium is new."
