Nottingham Forest captain Ryan Yates sees tonight's clash with Burnley as a big opportunity.

The midfielder believes they should go for the three points.

He told Forest's website, We saw the first five games and we knew there were some tricky fixtures in there, especially away from home, but we knew we needed to address our away form.

I don't think we put in bad performances before Chelsea, especially at Old Trafford we felt like we could have got something, so to overcome that disappointment and pick up three points at Chelsea, especially given some of the signings they made, it was fantastic and I hope that can give us confidence going forward.

I think our togetherness was the key to getting the result. We've kept a lot of players from last season and added some quality, and that relentless drive to be fully focused on the task at hand and stick together and put our bodies on the line was key."

He added, It was a great win against Chelsea, but if we can't back that up and improve on that performance against Burnley then that's not good enough.

We want to continually improve our performances and if we do that then I feel like the points will come.

The home games are so special and if we can continue to improve our away form then I feel like we can have a strong season."
