Bristol City will encounter a familiar foe in the form of Josh Brownhill on Saturday and while he’ll undoubtedly bring his wholehearted and committed attitude to his performance, there may also be something a little different about the way he operates over the 90 minutes.
Since joining Burnley in the summer as head coach, Vincent Kompany has increasingly stationed Brownhill further up the field, as an overtly attacking midfielder, releasing him of his deeper defensive duties and giving greater licence to impact the penalty area.
He’s been rewarded with four goals and two assists from the boots of the Lancastrian and he’ll be a significant threat for City to counter when they take on the Clarets this weekend.
