Johann Berg Gudmundsson (calf) could be back, while Sean Dyche is also hopeful of having Jay Rodriguez available. Jack Cork (ankle) and Chris Wood are both doubts, while Ashley Barnes remains out.

Chris Wilder has said Luke Freeman, John Fleck and John Lundstram will be out for “two weeks.”

Did you know?

Burnley are unbeaten in their last five Premier League home matches. They have won three and drawn two, keeping three clean sheets.

Burnley have used just 62 substitutes in their 32 Premier League matches this season, the fewest of any side. Since the Premier League restarted, they have used just four of the 15 available to them.

Sheffield United’s 3-1 win over Spurs was only the third time this season they had scored as many goals in a Premier League match. One of the others was a 3-0 victory over Burnley.

The Blades are level with Manchester City on seven for most goals scored via substitutes. Lys Mousset’s three goals are the joint-most in the competition from a substitute.
