Burnley will welcome Brentford to Turf Moor in Premier League action on Saturday.
The hosts are winless in their last 11 games in all competitions and managed to arrest their losing streak after four games in the Premier League last week, playing a 2-2 draw away at West Ham United. David Datro Fofana broke the deadlock in the 11th minute, while their lead was doubled late in the first half thanks to Konstantinos Mavropanos' own goal.
Lucas Paquetá halved the deficit for West Ham in the first minute of the second half, while Danny Ings scored an injury-time equalizer against his former employers.
The visitors have also endured a poor run of form and are winless in their last five league outings. They met Arsenal last week, suffering a 2-1 away defeat. Yoane Wissa equalized in the first half after Declan Rice broke the deadlock in the 19th minute. Kai Havertz bagged the match-winner in the 86th minute to help Arsenal move to the top of the league table.

They have conceded at least two goals in their last seven games while failing to score three times in that period. They have suffered four losses in their last six home games while failing to score in these defeats as well.
They are unbeaten in their last four home games against the visitors and have suffered just one loss on home turf in this fixture since 1935. Vincent Kompany has no new team news for this match, and a similar starting XI from their 2-2 draw against West Ham United is expected to be fielded here.
The Bees have lost four of their last five league games, conceding 13 goals while scoring six times, and might struggle here. They have lost eight of their last nine away games in the Premier League, conceding 19 goals. They have won their last two Premier League meetings against the hosts while keeping clean sheets in those matches and will look to build on that form.
Sergio Reguilon is expected to return to the bench after missing out against Arsenal with a minor hamstring injury. Nonetheless, Thomas Frank continues to have a lengthy absentee list.
