Team News

Burnley
Middlesbrough
  • Darko Churlinov and Scott Twine both returned to the bench last weekend, but neither will likely be ready to start on Saturday.
  • Anass Zaroury is still at the World Cup with Morocco, while Jay Rodriguez and Ashley Westwood are still waiting on their returns to fitness.
  • Michael Carrick will likely opt for an unchanged starting XI this weekend following an impressive display against Luton.
  • Defensive duo Matt Clarke and Marc Bola remain sidelined for the Teessiders.

Prediction

  • Burnley maintained their pre-World Cup form on their return to action last weekend, cruising to a 3-0 victory on the road against a managerless QPR side. Vincent Kompany's side are now eight points clear of third-placed Blackburn.
  • Michael Carrick's instant impact at Middlesbrough remains clear to see with the Teessiders heading to Turf Moor having claimed 13 points from their last five league outings. The visitors have climbed from the relegation zone up to 12th and look likely to continue hunting down the top six.
