Burnley vs Hull City will take place at Turf Moor in the EFL Championship on February 12. The third-placed team will host the 21st-placed team on Wednesday night.

The Clarets are flying in the Championship as they are in fine form and under Scott Parker they are playing beautiful football. Fans and the management are satisfied with their team’s performance and they are one of the favourites to get promotion to the Premier League. Burnley managed to win two of their past six home matches in the Championship. In the remaining four, they drew all of those matches and will look to not drop any points in the upcoming games. They are just five points behind the table toppers and will look to put pressure on them by getting more points.

In 31 games, they have won 16, drawn 13 and lost two games. With 61 points on the board, they are third in the table, they will be confident going into the upcoming fixture as they have just defeated Premier League side Southampton in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

The Tigers have been inconsistent throughout this season and are not getting good results. Even though their away from has been quite decent since in the last six games they have won three and suffered three defeats. Overall their defence is the main concern and surely the Clarets will test their defence.

Quality-wise the Clarests are a much better side and surely the away team will have to be at their best to get a decent result from this fixture. In 30 games, they have won seven games, eight fixtures ended in stalemate and 15 games they have lost, with 29 points on the table they are sitting at the 21st spot. They are just above the relegation zone and will have to get back-to-back good results to move up in the table. This will be an exciting and mouthwatering clash for sure.

He possesses a lightning pace and has the agility to shift inside quickly. he is able to ride challenges well, which contributes to his excellence in tight spaces. He can use body feints and fast feet to beat his opponents on the pitch. Sarmiento is an intense presser when there is a realistic chance of winning the ball back.

He is a reliable player who always gives his best on the field.

Steven Alzate (Hull City)

The Colombian international has a lot of experience playing in the Championship and is a key payer for the Tigers. Even though Hull City’s performance this season has been not up to the mark Alzate’s has been a standout player for them. Even though he has suffered from some injury issues whenever he is on the pitch he brings in a lot of stability and composure in the midfield. This is the first season for him at Hull City and surely the club will like him to stay for more years.
