Re: Terrified of Pope?
Heaton is a true pro. I'm sure he has given Pope a few words of encouragement. He will be pleased with Popes performances so far as we all are. He will also be chomping at the bit to get back between the sticks.

Re: score prediction v liverpool
I think we could get a result today. As big Sam Vokes says we've nothing to fear. I just hope Nick Pope has a good game.
I'm going for 2-0 Burnley.
