Burnley boss Parker praises squad mentality

Burnley manager Scott Parker has praised the mentality of his players ahead of Tuesday's Championship match at a revitalised Derby County (19:45 BST).

The Clarets' 2-1 win against Coventry on Saturday marked their 27th game unbeaten, and Parker is hoping to further extend the run.

"The [Championship] is highly competitive, you have games coming thick and fast and you need a certain mentality and mindset to go 27 unbeaten.

"It is something to be really proud of, so hopefully we can continue that."

Derby have been in fine form themselves, having won four of their previous five games, and lifted themselves out of the relegation zone.
