Scott Arfield believes Burnley have it in them to shock Manchester City again when the Premier League champions visit Turf Moor on Saturday . The Clarets pulled off arguably their most eye-catching result of the season at the Etihad in December when they fought back from two down at half-time to claim a 2-2 draw thanks to goals from George Boyd and Ashley Barnes . It epitomised Burnley 's against-the-odds fighting spirit and the memory will spur them on this weekend .

Midfielder Arfield said : 'It was quite evident the mentality we 've got in the squad and obviously coming from two goals down at a stadium like that , backs to the wall , and getting a point , we can take a lot of heart from that . 'We know it 's going to be difficult . We 're not in a fairyland where we think it 's going to be easy , but we know what we 've got in the dressing room . We know we 're going to work for each other and technically and ability-wise we 've got that as well . 'Last time at half-time we knew one goal could change it , and it did , and we had chances to win it as well . First half they were superb and we knew if they got the next goal it was going to be very difficult for us . 'But you get a goal and , no matter who you 're playing against , it 's going to take its toll . We started getting control of the ball and passing it about and then Barnesy turned up with a wonderful finish . ' Burnley followed up the point against City by claiming a draw at Newcastle and then beating QPR but since then times have been tougher . They are without a win in two months after failing to turn good performances into points , although they did hold Chelsea to a draw in a game now better remembered for Barnes ' controversial challenge on Nemanja Matic . The fixture list has not been kind , with the Clarets facing Manchester United and Liverpool along with Chelsea over the past month while matches against Southampton , Tottenham and Arsenal follow the City clash .

'When you 're playing against your Cities , Liverpools , Uniteds , they 're the games you look forward to at the start of the fixture list , the ones you want to play in . 'Every game 's enjoyable in this division but when you 're playing the big boys you want to get on the ball and show what you can do . ' Burnley 's fate is likely to be decided by their home form , and Arfield knows they can not afford more of the slips that saw them fail to turn leads against Crystal Palace and West Brom into wins . 'It 's massive , ' said the Scot . 'With the fans behind us , last season it was a fortress at times , people did n't want to come and play against us at home . 'This season we need to get back to that . The fans have been different class and we need to get more points .
