Thought I would comment - incidentally Alexander has played as a holding midfielder all season.
Strengths - going forward, we have players with the ability to take opponents on Eagles, Blake, Wade Elliot etc & we also have plenty of goal threats (Aside from Paterson's 18 goals we have Eagles - 9, Alexander 10, Thompson 10, McCann 8, Blake 9 etc, so it's not a case of stop one man and you stop Burnley). Also a strength is how we have performed in the one-off cup games this season, knocking out Arsenal, Chelsea, Fulham, WBA & almost Spurs out of the cups this season.
Weaknesses - silly mistakes leading to goals, although touch wood we seem to have erradicated those recently (We haven't conceded a home goal in our last four games).
I think they will be good games, and on current form we should win, but as we all know form goes out of the window once the match kicks off
Good luck
