Burnley are set to play host to Bournemouth at Turf Moor tomorrow for the 5th round of the FA Cup.
Burnley come into this game on the back of a 1-1 draw against Graham Potter's Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday in the English Premier League. A goal from centre-back Lewis Dunk for Brighton & Hove Albion in the first-half was cancelled out by a goal from Iceland international Johann Berg Gudmundsson for Burnley in the second-half.
Bournemouth, on the other hand, beat Aitor Karanka's Birmingham City 3-2 on Saturday in the EFL Championship. Goals from Dutch winger Arnaut Danjuma, former Arsenal and West Ham United midfielder Jack Wilshere and Denmark international Philip Billing secured the win for Bournemouth. A brace from attacker Scott Hogan proved to be a mere consolation for Birmingham City.

Burnley vs Bournemouth Prediction
Burnley are currently 17th in the league table, eight points ahead of 18th-placed Fulham. Sean Dyche has done an impressive job at the club, as the Clarets, despite their league position, continue to be a tough team to beat.
Bournemouth, on the other hand, are 6th in the league table, and a poor run of form saw the club sack manager Jason Tindall. They have appointed Jonathan Woodgate as the interim manager, with the Cherries aiming to get promoted to the Premier League.
This is a game that could go either way, but Bournemouth have struggled recently and a win for Burnley seems likely.
Prediction: Burnley 1-0 Bournemouth
