Burnley manager Scott Parker is enjoying the process of his team evolving and learning to adapt to the demands of the Championship: "It’s very early stages in the process. The real test of people is during adversity – this is when you can improve. This will be good learning for us,” said the former Chelsea and West Ham United midfielder.

ESPN 2 is all about the National Football League this week, with the morning of Friday 20 September bringing a battle between the New York Jets and the New England Patriots (02:15 LIVE on ESPN 2).
Patriots coach Jerod Mayo wants to see his team improve their offence if they are to challenge for the title this season: "We still have some time to figure out what the best combination is. I would say those guys, pre-snap penalties aside, there were definitely times where that unit out there did a pretty good job for the quarterback, and also, especially in the run game.
"Anytime you average over five yards a carry, it’s a good day in the run game. Now, in saying that, I’m not sure what the exact combination looks like, but we got in at four o’clock this morning and still kind of cranking through the film, but we’ll have a group ready to go."
Sunday 22 September brings a busy evening from the NFL, with Game Day Live coverage (18:00 LIVE on ESPN 2), followed by a feature game between the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers (22:25 LIVE on ESPN 2).
