Burnley host Huddersfield Town at Turf Moor in round 34 of the EFL Championship on Saturday (February 25).
The Terriers picked up their first win since the turn of the year last time out and will look to build on that result.
Burnley were denied a sixth consecutive away win, as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Millwall at the Den in midweek.
However, the Clarets have extended their unbeaten run in the Championship to 13 games, winning 11, since a 5-2 loss against Sheffield United in November. With 73 points from 33 games, Vincent Kompany’s men sit atop the standings with a healthy 12-point cushion over second-placed Sheffield United.
Meanwhile, Huddersfield stopped the rot last weekend, coming from behind to beat Birmingham City 2-1.
Before that, Neil Warnock’s men went without a win in their first eight games of the year, losing five. With 31 points from 32 games, Huddersfield are 22nd in the league table, four points off 21st-placed Cardiff City outside the relegation zone.
