Vincent Kompany wants to see Burnley’s players “on their knees” through exhaustion at the end of their crucial relegation six-pointer at Everton on Saturday as they battle to stay in the Premier League.
Burnley arrive at Goodison Park on their best run of form so far this season, remaining unbeaten in their past four matches. Despite their upturn, Kompany’s side are six points from a safe position with seven games to play, and have won only four matches. Everton are four points above the relegation zone in 16th but face the prospect of another deduction for breaching profit and sustainability rules, which could be a defining factor in who stays and who goes.
