Burnley boss wary of Stoke City's 'real technical players' as he makes bet365 Stadium claim
Scott Parker is warning his miserly Burnley defenders to be wary of Stoke City's skilful operators such as Bae Junho and Million Manhoef as they bid for a fourth win - and fifth clean sheet - on the spin.
Burnley have kept 11 clean sheets already this season to sit third in the Championship standings after 17 matches, two points behind both Leeds and Sheffield United.
They head to the Potteries on the back of victories over Swansea, Bristol City and Coventry and, while Parker is talking up the bet365 Stadium as 'a tough stadium' and Stoke as a 'well-accomplished' team, it's clear that he has another three points in his sights.

“They are a solid team, they have been difficult to beat this year,” he told the Lancashire Telegraph. “As always, we are going to a tough stadium against a well accomplished team who are coached well and experienced.
“There are some real technical players as well. We will prepare the best we can to deal with the threats they will pose us while also looking at how we can go and hurt them.
“We go there on the back of some really good results and some real energy about us. We will do everything we can to go there and get the three points.”
Stoke lost their opening home match under Narcis Pelach but have won two and drawn four of the next six, scoring 12 times while letting in six. They are currently five unbeaten but Burnley will be their toughest test since being unstuck at Sheffield United late in October.
Parker lost his first game against Stoke - back in October 2019 when he was in charge of Fulham, against Nathan Jones's Potters - but he has won the subsequent three, once with Fulham and twice with Bournemouth.
