Vital Quotes: Burnley boss Owen Coyle
‘I was quite impressed with Coventry when we went to the Ricoh Arena.
‘I thought they offered an awful lot to the game, and they’ve got a real attacking threat in Michael Mifsud and Julian Gray.
‘They’ll be obviously boosted by Saturday’s result coming here.
‘Equally I think they’ll remember our performance at Coventry and know we’re a good side. So we’ll concentrate on what we can do.’
