Burnley have Nick Pope in goal, with a back four of Connor Roberts, James Tarkowski, Ben Mee and Erik Pieters ahead of him.

Ashley Westwood joins Josh Brownhill in midfield, with Aaron Lennon and Dwight McNeil on the flanks.

Matej Vydra and Jay Rodriguez feature up top, given the chance to shine after Chris Wood’s move to Newcastle.
