Burnley boss Scott Parker says the midfield options he has available have given him a "good problem" ahead of Saturday's trip to Stoke City.

The Clarets comfortable 2-0 victory over Coventry City on Tuesday saw them pick up their third consecutive league win and the former England international has admitted the team's recent performances have left him with a selection headache.

"I鈥檓 very happy, I think there鈥檚 a real balance there in terms of attributes in the different players," he told 大象传媒 Radio Lancashire.

"There鈥檚 decisions to be made in terms of game profile and what we need."

Parker selected Hannibal Mejbri and Josh Laurent on Tuesday but can also rely on Josh Cullen and club captain Josh Brownhill to anchor the midfield on Saturday - the latter expected to be passed fit for the trip to Staffordshire.

"Hannibal鈥檚 come out the team and then come back in the team the last couple of games and done extremely well, he brings a different energy," Parker added.

"Along with the other boys Josh Laurent, and the ones who have been mainstays for large parts, so, good problems for me to have certainly and it gives us a real depth in our squad in them areas."
