Relegated Norwich City will aim to finish their home campaign on a high and end a run of eight successive defeats. 

Burnley can climb above Arsenal into ninth place and keep the pressure on the sides above them in the battle for European qualification.

Team news

Christoph Zimmermann is back in training for Norwich, but this match will come too soon for the defender.

Sam Byram, Grant Hanley and Moritz Leitner are still absentees for the Canaries.

Burnley forward Jay Rodriguez has recovered from the tight calf that forced him off against Wolverhampton Wanderers and is available.

But Charlie Taylor (hamstring) is ruled out, while Ben Mee (thigh), Matt Lowton (foot), Jack Cork (ankle) and Ashley Barnes (groin) remain sidelined.

Did you know?

Norwich are unbeaten in their last four home matches against Burnley in all competitions (W2 D2).

The Canaries are in danger of becoming the third club to lose five straight top-flight home matches without scoring.

Burnley are unbeaten in six Premier League matches and have secured 12 points since the restart, more than champions Liverpool, with 11.

Chris Wood has scored four times in his last three league matches against Norwich, including both goals in Burnley's 2-0 win in this season's reverse fixture.
