Hull City already have the perfect Championship blueprint for testing Burnley fixture
Hull City star Steven Alzate says that the Tigers will go to Burnley on Wednesday night full of belief that they can repeat their heroics of Bramall Lane.
City face the Clarets at Turf Moor looking for a fourth straight away win and clean sheet against the Clarets, who are chasing an automatic promotion place and immediate return to the Premier League. Burnley enter the contest, having collected 10 successive clean sheets, with the latest coming in their FA Cup win at Southampton on Saturday.
While City's form is horrendous and ihey're struggling at the bottom end of the league, away from home, Ruben Selles' side have won their last three at Blackburn Rovers, Millwall and Sheffield United, scoring five and without conceding a single goal. Their record on the road is in stark contrast to their struggles at the MKM Stadium which has seen them win just twice in 15 games.

That 3-0 win at their Yorkshire rivals a couple of Fridays ago surprised a fair few in the Championship whilst doing the Clarets a favour in their bid to finish above United at the top of the league.
Burnley, meanwhile, have conceded just nine goals all season and only four at Turf Moor. But Alzate says the Tigers will have no fear under the Lancashire lights.
"It's nice to have a bit of a break, but then we also need to work on the training pitch with loads of new players that we have signed. That's exactly what we're going to do. We're going to go into that Burnley game believing we could win it," the Colombian midfielder told Hull Live.
"Our away form has been good recently. I don't know why that is, but it's been good, so let's just go into that Burnley game believing we could win it. It's like any football game; you never go to battle out a point or park the bus. You've got to go into each game believing you could win it, obviously.
"Different tactics for different games. We know Burnley's a good side, but we know we've got a great team, so we're going to go there with respect, knowing that we could definitely get the three points.
"Yep (it's a challenge to score against them). In recent games, we've been scoring. We haven't had any goalless score lines, so that'll be a nice little challenge."
