Burnley preview: Success on their travels

Although Premier League survival appears highly unlikely at this stage, Burnley have strung together a couple of positive away results, following their comeback win at Crystal Palace with a 1-1 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

However, the Clarets haven't recorded a Premier League win at Turf Moor since October, when they defeated fellow promoted side Leeds 2-0.

Brentford preview: Blip against Brighton

Despite some strong results recently against the likes of Aston Villa, Newcastle and Arsenal, Brentford somewhat surprisingly slumped to a 0-2 defeat at home to Brighton last weekend.

The Bees remain in a strong position in the table though, and are very much in the mix for a European place come the end of the season. 

Burnley team news: Foster could make it

Lyle Foster has had a week's training following a recent illness, but Zian Flemming could retain his place up top after scoring the late equliser against Chelsea.

Kyle Walker and Lesley Ugochukwu have both recovered from their own illnesses, but seven others remain unequivocally out of this fixture.

Predicted XI (3-4-2-1): Dubravka; Laurent, Worrall, Esteve; Walker, Ugochukwu, Mejbri, Humphreys; Edwards, Anthony; Flemming

Unavailable: Beyer (Injured), Tuanzebe (Injured), Roberts (Injured), Cullen (Injured), Tresor (Fitness), Amdouni (Fitness), Broja (Injured)

Burnley vs Brentford prediction

Despite their perilous position in the table, Burnley will have gained confidence from their recent Premier League endeavours, fighting back to beat Crystal Palace before salvaging a late draw with Chelsea.

Brentford, meanwhile, can be a difficult team to predict, with some excellent displays against top opposition mixed in with some hugely underwhelming performances.

Based on recent evidence, Burnley should provide some level of threat to Brentford, but given that the visitors boast the likes of Dango Ouattara and Igor Thiago in attack, you'd have to think that Keith Andrews' side can get on the scoresheet, too.
