Vincent Kompany doesn\u2019t want Burnley to rely on Everton\u2019s points deduction as a potential safety net in their own battle against relegation.<\/p>\n
The Clarets were joined at the bottom of the Premier League this week when the Merseysiders were docked 10 points for breaching Premier League profitability and sustainability rules.<\/p>\n
But Kompany, whose side want to avoid a seventh consecutive home defeat when they face West Ham on Saturday, insists he is ignoring Everton\u2019s because Burnley need to get their own house in order.<\/p>\n
\u2018I tend not to pay attention to anything I can\u2019t control. We\u2019re not in a position to look at anyone else, my focus is on turning performances into results. That is the only thing that matters,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
\u2018We can be a good team in the Premier League and having my attention on this case won\u2019t help us achieve that.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Vincent Kompany’s is solely focused on improving Burnley’s fortunes in the wake of Everton’s points deduction<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The newly promoted Clarets have had a horror start to the season and currently sit bottom<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But Everton’s enforced deduction could yet hand a lifeline to clubs in danger of relegation zone<\/p>\n

\u2018I saw the punishment after everyone else did. I am the worst-informed person on it because it\u2019s not something that will help me on Saturday.\u2019<\/p>\n
Burnley are one of the clubs alongside Leicester and Leeds who could make a compensation case against Everton but Kompany says he\u2019ll leave decisions like that to the Clarets board rather than get involved himself.<\/p>\n
\u2018It\u2019s not my job. We are talking politics here,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n
\u2018There will be discussions at board level. My priority is keeping this team in the league. It\u2019s not even close to my priority list.<\/p>\n
\u2018I understand the club has a vested interest and it (the Everton deduction) has been discussed at Premier League and club level but I don\u2019t think it is for me to make a judgement<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019m aware so I\u2019m not pretending I\u2019m not, but none of it is my concern.\u2019<\/p>\n

Kompany is still unable to call upon Lyle Foster as he continues to focus on his mental health<\/p>\n
Everton\u2019s situation pending a probable appeal currently leaves Burnley only two points from safety despite losing 10 of 12 matches following promotion as champions.<\/p>\n
Kompany accepts things have to change with their next two games at Turf Moor, the second against relegation rivals Sheffield United.<\/p>\n
\u2018I would like to think the team is really looking forward to the West Ham game. We know they are a strong opponent but no game is easy and we still have the same mission, to pick up three points.\u2019<\/p>\n
Striker Lyle Foster, described by Kompany as our \u2018main man\u2019 is still unvailable as he tries to look after his mental health.<\/p>\n
