Burnley will host Stoke City at Turf Moor on Wednesday night in another round of EFL Championship football.
The Clarets have been largely solid this season but have struggled to hold on to their leads of late and are gradually falling behind in the race for automatic promotion. They played out a 1-1 draw against Cardiff City in their last game and had looked set to come away with all three points before their opponents drew level in additional time.
Burnley sit fourth in the Championship standings with 18 points from 11 games and will be looking to add to that tally on Wednesday.
Stoke City have struggled for form this season and currently sit perilously close to the drop zone as they head into the second quarter of the season. They were on the receiving end of a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Watford last time out and were fortunate not to have lost by a larger margin as their opponents constantly carved them apart.
The Potters sit 17th in the league table with just 12 points picked up so far. They are two points above the drop zone and will be looking to widen that gap this week.
