Ex-Premier League midfielder Michael Brown believes Burnley's 2-2 draw against Manchester United on Wednesday demonstrated fight but that the Clarets' need help to stand a chance of surviving in the top flight:
"Can they strengthen and bring reinforcements in? For all of the effort, the desire and the tactical knowledge that Scott Parker is trying to drill in with patient build-up and creativity towards the top of the pitch, you still feel they're really light in that squad and they need reinforcements.
"They've lost their captain [Josh Cullen] for a long period of time so a strong, experienced midfielder would be key to try to keep the season alive.
"That gap is getting too strong for them now. They will run out of steam if they don't get points very quickly - it's just human nature.
"They've had a go this season but now that gap has started to look really concerning and over the next period of time I think it will get worse if they can't get a few players in during January."
