Burnley are aiming to extend a five-match unbeaten run, and a home win would take them two points behind their visitors in the battle for European qualification.

Wolverhampton Wanderers, who beat Everton 3-0 last time out, can move one point behind fifth-placed Manchester United with another victory.

Team news

Burnley's Jack Cork (ankle) has undergone surgery while Ben Mee (thigh) is unavailable. Matt Lowton (foot) and Ashley Barnes (groin) are unlikely to feature again this season.

Nuno Espirito Santo reports no fresh injury concerns for Wolves.

Did you know?

Burnley have lost just one of their last 13 Premier League matches (W7 D5) and are unbeaten in their last six at Turf Moor.

A clean sheet would make Nick Pope the first English goalkeeper to achieve 15 shutouts in a Premier League season since Joe Hart in 2015/16.

If Raul Jimenez finds the net he would become the first Wolves player to score 17 goals in a top-flight season since John Richards in 1975/76.

Wolves have lost just four Premier League away matches this season. Only champions Liverpool have lost fewer on the road this campaign, with two.
