Wolves boss O'Neil: Going to Burnley will be tough

Wolves boss Gary O'Neil is very much aware of the threat that Burnley pose to his team.

The two clubs are set to do battle in midweek in the Premier League, as Wolves look to solidify their mid-table position.

With Burnley battling relegation, O'Neil knows they will face a huge struggle to get all three points at Turf Moor on Tuesday.

He told reporters: “There are no easy games, especially with the situation we find ourselves in at this moment.

“Going to Burnley will be tough, as we knew Saturday would be, but that doesn't mean that we just accept that we can't have a real big impact on how it goes and take three points because we definitely can, and we're desperate to go there and win, and get to 44.

“We'll do everything to recover the players and make sure they're ready. We were able to make five subs, so there was five of them that didn't have to play 90, so hopefully that helps them feel a bit better on Tuesday, and we'll see what we can do. Burnley will be a tough one.

“They got a big result at Chelsea with ten men. They're a good Premier League team that have spent a lot of money in the summer, and it'll be a test for us."
