00:00In the context of Sunderland's season, an away trip to Burnley, who sit just above them

00:06in the race for the Premier League, is clearly an important fixture.

00:10Given that the Black Cats only have their league campaign to focus on, preparation for

00:14games such as this will be key as Sunderland look to make a statement of intent.

00:20Opponents Burnley have only conceded nine goals during the whole of this season, meaning

00:24that Sunderland's attacking talent will have to be at their very best to get a result away

00:28at Turf Muir.

00:29Sunderland were victorious against the Clarets back in August, but facing them away from

00:33home will be a completely different encounter.

00:36However, Regis Lebris made clear that his side's approach will remain positive, barring

00:41small tactical tweaks to suit facing their opponents.

00:47I think it's always a different story and a different scenario, but at the same time

00:54we always want to play our game with our identity.

00:59So far, we've faced different challenges.

01:02We are always positive.

01:04It's not possible to play these games with a break.

01:11We want to play our football.

01:13So obviously we have to face different styles of play, different strengths, but at the end

01:18we want to play our football, so we'll see.

01:21Burnley will also know how important this game is, but Lebris stopped short of overhyping

01:26the fixture despite its obvious significance in the context of the season.

01:31It's always, every game, we have three points to play for.

01:37So different stories, different challenges, and it's big or not big, it's just three

01:45points to play for.

01:48And the way we want to play these games is, I repeat, positively.

01:56So they have strength, they have weaknesses as well.

02:01New loan signing Enzo Lefebvre could make his first appearance for Sunderland in the

02:05match, with Lebris making clear that the French midfielder is ready to go.

02:09I think, first of all, he's ready.

02:13He's ready to play.

02:14And sometimes it's not possible because you didn't play a lot, you were injured or something

02:18like that, and he's really fit.

02:21And at the same time, we have to respect the legacy, because a new player can come

02:27in and say, I'm here to change everything.

02:31It's not possible here because the identity is very strong.

02:36The quality of the team is important, and he has to make the steps to connect with the team.

02:46So it depends on many things, the game, the scenario, the players available, and so on.

02:54But he's ready, and at the same time, he has to connect with the team.
