Vincent Kompany’s pre-match comments

“We always have the mindset we can do something. I felt like that when we played against Wolves, I felt like that when we played [Crystal] Palace, even Arsenal. The team has that belief.

“To get that over the line is what we’re talking about now. We have that one moment [against Wolves] where Jay Rod is one-on-one with the goalkeeper to put it in the back of the net, plus the decision making in the first phase when we have the ball.

“On so many occasions they do it well because we do create from a number of situations, but it’s that final bit we need to get right.”

What are the predicted teams?

Brighton: Steele, Veltman, Dunk, Igor, Gross, Baleba, Gilmour, Adingra, Pedro, Mitoma, Ferguson

Burnley: Trafford, Vitinho, Ekdal, Beyer, Taylor, Brownhill, Berge, Gudmundsson, Tresor, Amdouni, Rodriguez
