Overall, it adopted the following line-ups: 4-4-2 (14 times) and 4-5-1 (once).

Granting that this will be the line-up, the projected average age of Burnley would be 29.00.

There are doubts about the presence of G. Cornet.

Sean Dyche will probably not be able to employ W. Hennessey and C. Roberts because of injury.

A. Barnes will definitely miss the match.
