Parker on Ward-Prowse start, squad rotation and Mansfieldpublished at 14:24 GMT 13 February

Melissa Edwards BBC Sport journalist
Burnley boss Scott Parker has been speaking to the media before Saturday's FA Cup game against Mansfield Town at Turf Moor (kick-off 15:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
January signing James Ward-Prowse, who featured as a substitute in the victory over Crystal Palace on Wednesday, will start the match on Saturday.
On the 31-year-old's debut, Parker said: "I was really pleased he came on the other night, and I thought the time and the dynamics of the game when he came on, you could see the experience. So it's another opportunity for him to get minutes because he hasn't played a lot of football."
On team morale since the win at Selhurst Park: "It's been good, coming off the back of an important win for us that we've been searching for for a long time - it's lifted the mood. It's been a quick turnaround and our main focus has moved onto the game at the weekend. But generally upbeat and first and foremost, pleased for the players."
He added: "There's no denying that it's been a tough period and certainly our mood has always been pretty upbeat, it's never really been too drastic but there's been a little bit of frustration at times and a little hurt. Football clubs are often at their best when they come off the back of a good result."
Josh Laurent played in multiple positions against Palace and Parker said his versatility is "invaluable" because he is able to play him in any role and the 30-year-old will always perform for him.
On how his side will approach the FA Cup as they try to avoid relegation from the Premier League: "The next game is our next focus. Our performance in the last round was very, very good and that gave us momentum. We're looking forward to this game and it give the players an opportunity as well. This is a game we're going to approach and competition I hold real value in. We're going to go in there and put in a good performance and hopefully we can get through to the next round."
On squad rotation: "There's balance to it and that definitely is the case that we'll make some changes here to freshen things up and give players who've maybe not had a lot of football to give them football to keep them up to speed. We're going with a real full squad but we'll try and get a real balance for it."
Parker and Mansfield Town manager Nigel Clough faced each other in a 1-1 draw in 2016; when Parker was playing for Fulham and Clough managed Burton Albion in the Championship. On the tie with Mansfield, Parker said: "It's a competition of which we will all hold fond memories of. It's a competition which can give us a real lift. It's a really tough game for us, we know what Nigel's teams are like. We need to bring our quality as well as understanding of what to expect."
'Too sensible and you won't get the big gigs' - has punditry gone too far?published at 06:19 GMT 13 February

Recently, Liverpool and the Netherlands captain Virgil van Dijk said former players-turned-pundits have a responsibility when discussing the performances of the current generation of footballers.
He believes they can stray into "clickbait" and have a possible impact on players' mental health.
On Thursday's episode of the More than the Score podcast, former Scotland international Pat Nevin and chief sports editor for Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf Marcel van der Kraan join John Bennett to discuss and analyse the modern world of punditry and the impact it can have on players and managers alike.
"As a player you do tend to take it to heart, especially when it feels a little personal," said Nevin.
"Generally, it isn't personal and the pundit is just having their opinion and we all kind of know where the lines are. But, the lines have been jumped over more often in recent years and I think Van Dijk is right about that.
"Because of the clickbait, it is so much easier to get more likes, views and work if you're a little bit more extreme. Ex-players aren't stupid and they know that. If you are too sensible and sit on the fence you won't get the big gigs.
"You have a dichotomy. Most ex-players would like to be balanced but they know if they are too balanced and sensible they won't be there next week.
"My criticism would always be constructive criticism which is explained. One-dimensional labeling of players should never happen. Sometimes if a big name says something enough it becomes accepted wisdom."
Van der Kraan added: "There are two different kinds of pundits; those who need to be on every week and those who are genuinely focused on what is right and what players should do.
"For Van Dijk, after so many years enough is enough.
"It all started after he came into the Netherlands team and became a big player at Liverpool. The first ex-player to really criticise him was Marco van Basten, saying he was not a leader. Van Dijk was biting his lip after every match because it became a bit of a stigma.
"Eventually it filtered to England and every time he had a bad game it became an open nerve."
Iain: Quite possibly the most depressing result of a miserable season. You can't be 2-0 at home to the team second from bottom and lose 3-2. Woeful performance in the second half. We looked clueless on the field and the manager seemed equally clueless with his substitutions.
Lee: Glasner's exit confirmation has rotted the squad. Players have downed tools. He's done nothing but moan about ambition and transfers. We won't go down. Sack him now; get Thomas Frank in for a bounce. Nothing to lose.
Leigh: An embarrassing seven minutes from a Palace perspective. Good performance overall, lots of chances created. Never should have lost. We created our own downfall.
Brian: I've been supporting Palace since third division South and it looks like they're going back.
Gary: Disgraceful. Pathetic. Nowhere near good enough. Feel sorry for Strand Larson, no service in second half. Why take Munoz off and put Sarr on the right? He's wasted out there. We miss Guehi's calmness in defence. I'm afraid we'll be out of Europe soon and finish in our usual place in the table 12-15th. The fun and happy days are over.
Burnley fans
Martin: We're going down - that has been evident for weeks, and this result changes nothing. As fans, we just want to see fight and determination every game until the end of the season. We haven't even managed that recently. Let's hope this game is a sign of things changing.
Andrew: Hannibal was magnificent. Everywhere. Inspiring all around him. Kyle Walker is a totally class act.
Bob: Much better but I fear too little too late! However let's keep it up and maybe… At least let's go down fighting. Whatever happens big changes need to happen.
John: The most incredible comeback by Burnley that I can remember in the many decades that my family have supported them.
Will 40-point mark be needed for Premier League survival?published at 13:43 GMT 12 February

The 40-point mark - or thereabouts - could be needed once again to guarantee Premier League survival this term, with an in-form West Ham United attempting to chase down the sides above them.
That mythical number has often been cited as the threshold at which managers, players and fans can relax - but the total has not actually been needed to stay up since 2010-11.
Prior to that the only other occasions clubs were demoted with 40 points or more were 1996-97, 1997-98 and 2002-03.
But could that be about to change?
West Ham, who are 18th in the top flight, are only three points behind 17th-placed Nottingham Forest, who sacked manager Sean Dyche after Wednesday's goalless draw with Wolves.
While Tottenham - who sacked boss Thomas Frank on Wednesday - are 16th, another two points ahead of Forest.
West Ham's current points tally (24) is the most by any side in 18th at this stage of a campaign since 2019-20, when the Hammers recovered to stay up with 39 points.
Leeds also look to have found some momentum with recent wins over Fulham and Forest as well as draws at Everton and Chelsea.
In contrast, Spurs have managed a meagre four points from the previous 27 available to them.
Meanwhile, now managerless Forest have won just two of their past 10 games and fans of Brighton and Crystal Palace may also be looking over their shoulders.
The 14th-placed Seagulls (31 points) are on a dismal run having won just one top-flight game since 30 November.
Palace - who are a place and a point above Brighton - have only tasted victory once since 7 December and most recently let a two-goal lead slip as they lost to struggling Burnley.
That magic 40-point mark could well be needed once more to avoid dropping into the Championship.

Former Everton defender Phil Jagielka, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily Podcast: "It'll be really tough [for Burnley to survive relegation].
"They're relying on Leeds, Spurs, Forest and West Ham - four teams having an absolute nightmare end to the season - and them winning five or six on the spin.
"It is possible. I said they struggle to score goals and then in seven minutes they got three [against Palace].
"There's plenty of points to play for. They just need to keep forward, scoring more goals and see where it takes them."

Analysis: Remarkable recovery just the tonic for Parkerpublished at 23:55 GMT 11 February

Burnley manager Scott Parker admitted there was "a lot of reflection" and "hurt" following Saturday's 2-0 home defeat to fellow strugglers West Ham, during which he was subjected to chants of 'you're getting sacked in the morning' from sections of the Burnley support.
The 45-year-old may have been bracing himself for more of the same after Jorgen Strand Larsen had doubled his and Crystal Palace's lead 12 minutes before half-time on Tuesday night.
He most certainly won't have been expecting to take a 3-2 lead into half-time – not when Burnley had been so toothless up to that point.
But the Clarets smelled blood after Hannibal Mejbri's goal had reduced the arrears, capitalising on Palace's inertia to complete a phenomenal turnaround.
Burnley are only the fifth team – and first since 2009 – to trail by two or more goals in the first half of a Premier League game, but still go into the break ahead.
And only three times before had they scored three first-half goals in the top flight, last doing so against Brentford in October 2021.
Burnley's focus in the second half was all about containing Palace, and they appeared to be holding on comfortably until Ismaila Sarr sent a thumping volley towards the top corner with virtually the last kick of the game.
However, Martin Dubravka produced a stunning save to parry Sarr's shot out of harm's way and secure a precious three points.
After all the first-half chaos, you'd be forgiven for forgetting that kick-off at Selhurst Park was delayed by 10 minutes after the Burnley team bus had got caught up in traffic on the way to the ground.
The visitors' preparations may have been far from ideal, but the result certainly was.

Burnley boss Scott Parker, speaking to TNT Sports: "I'm happy with the team and, of course, with the result.
"In the situation we're in, coming off the back of an incredibly tough game for us at the weekend – for many reasons – that performance showed a group that's full of resilience, full of commitment. All the staff, the players, deserve that today.
"You don't get that result without proper resilience, standing up to certain battles and certain situations. The biggest lesson for any group is to keep coming back up – and we certainly did that tonight.
"There's always been belief [that we can stay up]. The results over the last few months probably haven't gone our way, tonight that definitely was the case. I said before tonight's game, let's not worry about where we've been in the past – let's look at the present.
"Can a group of men come to Selhurst Park and win a game of football against Crystal Palace? I think every single player believed that tonight. I think that was evident.
"There aren't many teams who would come back after going 2-0 down. It speaks absolute volumes for this group. If there was ever a question of how together this group is, how committed this group is, how resilient this group is – it said it all really."
Did you know?
Burnley are only the second team to go two goals down in the first half of a Premier League away game but still go in ahead at half-time, after Spurs at Newcastle in 1995.
The Clarets ended a run of 16 games without a win in the Premier League, their second-longest top-flight winless streak, after a run of 19 in 1890.
Scott Parker enjoyed his first-ever win away as a manager in London in the Premier League on his ninth attempt (D3 L5).
Parker's interview, Pace's comments and a week to forgetpublished at 12:19 GMT 11 February
12:19 GMT 11 February
Natalie Bromley Fan writer
It's not been a great week for the ongoing relationship between Burnley Football Club, its manager and the fanbase.
The day started with chairman Alan Pace appearing on Football Focus where he faced questions about the struggles of this season and where the club found itself. If the opening comments weren't sufficiently alarming – Pace admitted that around the time ALK purchased the club people had made it sound to him like Premier League survival was "just a given" – things went to a whole other level as what appeared to be digs at his fan base started to roll off the tongue.
Pace dismissed fan concerns as somewhat irrelevant as they came from those who "just play this game on a computer somewhere". He went on to liken those same fans to three-year-old toddlers having a tantrum. Such comments - as innocent as they may have been - were not well advised.
The day ended with Scott Parker facing the press after a damning defeat at home to West Ham United, delivering an interview that was profoundly uncomfortable to watch for anyone with an ounce of empathy. He acknowledged that the boos from the Turf Moor faithful were understandable, but also stated that they were not helpful.
The problem I have with this weekend's reaction from the club is that it was made to sound like this was a knee-jerk reaction from unreasonable fans the minute things got tough. We haven't won a game since October. Nothing is being done to change the position we are in. We are getting worse with each attempt we have made at Premier League survival since Sean Dyche was sacked in a "difficult decision" by Burnley's new owners. That sacking, by the way, was made as the board felt that "change is needed".
The Clarets' fanbase is famously loyal and forgiving and doesn't have unreasonable expectations. We now await the explanation as to why the club has not felt that change was needed this year.
Crystal Palace v Burnley: Key stats and talking pointspublished at 08:57 GMT 11 February
08:57 GMT 11 February
Chris Adams BBC Sport journalist
Crystal Palace welcome Burnley to Selhurst Park on Wednesday having ended a miserable nine-game streak without a Premier League win during what has been a tumultuous winter for Oliver Glasner's side.
A second goal in as many games for Ismaila Sarr saw off fierce rivals Brighton on Sunday, lifting Palace to 13th in the table.
Palace hoping to buck home trend
The Eagles are winless in their past seven home league matches (drawn three, lost four), their worst run at Selhurst Park in the top flight since a 15-game stint between August 1997 and April 1998 that ended in relegation.
Two wins from 12 in front of their own fans this season, the last of which came against Brentford on 1 November, means Palace have earned just 37.5% of their total points at home this season - only Tottenham have fared worse.
On a more optimistic note for Palace fans, their team haven't lost a home league game against a side starting the day in the relegation zone since a 4-0 reverse to Sunderland in February 2017 – they are unbeaten in 19 since.
With Burnley's visit to south London followed by that of rock-bottom Wolverhampton Wanderers, February presents the perfect opportunity for Glasner's charges to put distance between themselves and the relegation dogfight.
Clarets in freefall
For all Crystal Palace's struggles at home, it would be wrong to suggest Wednesday's visitors Burnley are well-placed to take advantage.
Encouraging draws against Manchester United and Spurs bookended a run of four games unbeaten in January, but any optimism arising from that spell has been snuffed out after back-to-back defeats.
The Clarets, who have been stuck in 19th place since late November, are losing ground on West Ham thanks to the latter's improved form, with relegation looking more likely by the day.
Burnley are currently 16 league games without a win, the worst run of any club in Europe's top five leagues. It also means they're one of just two teams in the entire Football League without a league win since the start of November, along with the Championship's bottom side Sheffield Wednesday.
The trip from London back to east Lancashire is often a sorry one for Burnley fans; their team have won just one of their past 16 top-flight visits to the city (drawn six, lost nine), losing each of their past four.
Head coach Scott Parker doesn't fare much better. After eight attempts, he is yet to win a top-flight away game in London. Only Neil Warnock (16), Colin Todd (10), Steve Kean (nine) and Nigel Pearson (nine) have managed more away games in the capital without tasting success.
Sutton's predictions: Crystal Palace v Burnleypublished at 07:52 GMT 11 February
07:52 GMT 11 February
Crystal Palace's win over Brighton was a huge result for them and the Eagles are definitely not short of firepower - if anything they have got too many centre-forwards now, but that's a good problem to have.
Burnley have had it though - I thought that before they lost at home to West Ham on Saturday, but there can't be any doubt they are going down now.
I don't think the Clarets will get anything here, either, but their fans seem to have turned on manager Scott Parker which I really don't like.
This is the guy who got them up but because the other promoted sides, Sunderland and Leeds, are having better seasons, that has gone against him.
Just on the eyes, whenever I've watched them, Burnley have been competitive and have been in games.
I just think there needs to be a bit of patience from their supporters, but of course they are entitled to their opinion.
Parker on Ward-Prowse, 'full backing' from owners and results 'hurting'published at 15:48 GMT 10 February

Burnley boss Scott Parker has been speaking to the media before Wednesday's Premier League game against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park (kick-off 19:30 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
On team news: "We are all good injury-wise. Nothing to really report - no-one really coming back as well. We are practically where we have been over the past few weeks."
He also said James Ward-Prowse could be an option to start against the Eagles after playing in an under-21s game last weekend: "He hasn't played a lot of football. That is a decision for me to make but I have no doubt we will see James Ward-Prowse on the pitch tomorrow night."
On where Burnley find themselves in the Premier League: "Emotional support is probably the biggest thing at the moment. The psychology of what we are in is fundamentally the key at this present moment in time. It's very clear where we are and the situation we are in, so let's strip a lot back in terms of our thinking and focus, and keep fighting away here. I know there's more to that here - of course there is - and it's easier said than done."
He added: "We're all hurting at this moment in time, but there is still a lot of football to be played. People are writing us off, for sure, and they can't really see where the next win is coming from. That's not the mentality we need to adopt."
On his relationship with the owners: "That relationship is concrete. My relationship with the ownership has been very clear, it's very honest and transparent and I have absolutely nothing but the full backing."
He added: "The day, minute or hour I feel I am not the right man, I will be the first to shake someone's hand. I'd be very comfortable with that because I care deeply about this football club and I care deeply about this group of players."
On what positives he sees at the moment: "It's a tough question. Anything I say that is positive is only going to add more fire to this situation. That is the reality. Anything I say regarding us as a group, the positive of coming out with three draws against big teams, the positive results at the beginning of the season when we were hugely competitive is something that will probably be frowned up and antagonise the situation even more."
He added: "What changes it is winning. That's a word easy to say but that is probably the only way us as a group, me as a manager and this team can get some air. We can only get it by winning."
He expects a "a tough game" against Palace, who are a "well coached side coming off the back of some good results, with some really good individual talent".
Is Parker ruthless enough for Premier League?published at 11:15 GMT 10 February

No Nay Never podcaster Natalie believes that Burnley manager Scott Parker doesn't have what it takes to thrive in the Premier League.
Burnley are without a league win since October and Natalie was particularly aggrieved to see them resist chasing a winner against Manchester United in January - indicating Parker's lack of competitive edge.
"We got criticised heavily during the Dyche years for 'dinosaur football', but at least you knew what we had.
"We were known for something even if it wasn't pretty - I don't know what Burnley FC are known as. We are nothing in every single element of the park.
"As lovely a guy as he is, Scott Parker has a ceiling as a Championship manager.
"He's proved consistently that he doesn't quite have whatever it is - whether it's the tactical application, whether it's the ruthlessness or decision-making ability to succeed in the Premier League."
'Broken' Parker 'knows what the direction of travel is'published at 11:36 GMT 9 February

Telegraph journalist Luke Edwards speaking on BBC Sounds' Football Daily about Scott Parker's emotional post-match interview after defeat by West Ham: "It was uncomfortable. It hit me quite hard. He's really feeling that and being honest.
"He got them promoted, he's a hero. They all say they'll stick together at the start of the season and now you have 'you're getting sacked in the morning' in February. It's been a hard season, a difficult one but it's nothing most of us didn't anticipate. I really felt for Parker.
"Parker knows what the direction of travel is. Going back to that interview, he sounds broken. He sounds like he knows he's lost the fans and it's probably only a matter of time until he loses his job. Somebody has to pay the price for the miserable season Burnley are having. In football, 9.5 times out of 10 it's the manager."
Ex-Premier League striker Clinton Morrison added: "You could have Pep Guardiola in there and he wouldn't get results. I'm being honest. I understand what Burnley fans are saying, they are entitled to chant and say what they want.
"Parker should just say 'have a go, we're going to get relegated anyway', instead of sitting back and trying to protect something. Last season they were the best defensively, that was never going to be the same in the Premier League. They had the money to spend but have not brought in the right players to compete in the Premier League."
James: Just when you think it cannot get any worse. If this level of performance is considered by Scott Parker to be just a little off, Burnley fans should take up gardening for the rest of the season, rather than endure more of this. When will the Burnley board grow some and get rid of the deadwood, starting with Parker?
Alan: Pointless. Other than to fulfill fixtures, this team, including management, do not belong in the Premier League. They are simply not good enough at all levels. Unfortunately, they are looking so demoralised that they don't look good enough for the Championship either. Have a clearout now, bring in fresh management who can instil some pride in the shirt, and prepare for next season.
Jeff: Another performance where you really have to wonder how bad it has to be for the board to sack the manager. But the board and the recruitment process needs to be questioned. Making signings that have never played in England (other than Kyle Walker as a outfield player), never mind the Premier League - like they did with Vincent Kompany. Two seasons now in the Premier League with the same result.
Neil: Same old story - week in, week out. A must-win game needed strength up front - but just one striker (albeit a makeshift one) starting said it all, and that's no disrespect to Zian Flemming. The defence, once again, gifted the goals and it was always uphill after that. Promising early pressure in the second half gave us some hope, but it soon fizzled out and we were well beaten. We don't need the boo boys calling for Parker out and knocking the players. If you're not happy, stay home and leave the die-hard fans to give their support.
West Ham fans
James: That was a vital three points. Form is picking up now and rivals must be looking over their shoulders. Let's not get too carried away as there is a way to go yet, but if Crysencio Summerville can keep popping up with goals there is certainly cause for optimism. A real captain's performance from Jarrod Bowen again.
Jimmy: Much like last week, an excellent first half and two very good goals, but this week was also a more disciplined second-half performance. Maybe, just maybe, Nuno Espirito Santo has at long last realised that bringing on a third centre-half isn't the answer when you're winning the game, and this week he made the substitutions he should have made last week - which I'm sure had he done so, we would have left Stamford Bridge with at least one point, if not all three.
Pete: Nuno deserves credit for his team selection and his substitutions after criticism in previous matches. Matheus Fernandes is growing in stature with every game and could be the first player to fill the hole left by Declan Rice. All of West Ham's players look up for the fight, which wasn't the case a few weeks ago. It won't be easy, but if we can show this character every game, we might just stay up.
Tim: Massive three points for the Irons after the disappointment of last weekend. Pleased for Taty Castellanos, who looks a good signing.
