Burnley bring their 2022-23 EFL Championship campaign to an end on Monday when they welcome Cardiff City to Turf Moor.
After storming to the league title and securing their return to the Premier League, Vincent Kompany’s men will now look to close out the season on a winning note.
Burnley made it two wins from two last Saturday when they edged out Bristol City 2-1 courtesy of goals from Manuel Benson and Jay Rodriguez at the Ashton Gate Stadium.
Prior to that, Kompany’s side suffered their first home defeat of the season as they were beaten 2-1 by QPR on April 22, three days before picking up a 2-1 victory over Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park.
Burnley, who finished first in the table to clinch their return to the English top-flight, have now won 28 of their 45 Championship games and will be looking close out the season on a high.
Cardiff City, on the other hand, were sent crashing back to earth last time out as they fell to a 2-1 home loss against Huddersfield Town.
Sabri Lamouchi’s side were previously on a three-game unbeaten run, claiming seven points from a possible 12 in that time.
Despite their disappointing campaign, Cardiff City have confirmed their safety as they sit five points above the relegation zone.
