'Our approach is no fear - go for it'

Burnley manager Vincent Kompany has issued a rallying cry to his players before Saturday's Premier League game at fellow strugglers Sheffield United.

The Clarets are looking to do the double over the Blades, after a 5-0 win at Turf Moor in December.

"This could be a game of fear or a game of no fear," Kompany said.

"Our approach is no fear - go for it. We've had good performances and bad performances this season, but our goal is to take on the game the way we feel it should be approached.

"It's a privilege to be in this league and to be able to showcase all the good things about our team at this level. It's brought us closer to results, doing that, and we hope it's something that on the day we can achieve.

"I don't see how a draw is good for either team. If it was a draw on Saturday it will be in other places they'll be happy about the result."
