Burnley are back in action in the EFL Championship when they take on Millwall at the Den on Tuesday.
The Clarets are currently unbeaten in nine straight games against the hosts and will look to continue in the same vein.

With 49 points from 31 matches, Millwall are currently sixth in the EFL Championship table, level on points with Blackburn Rovers and Sunderland.
Elsewhere, Burnley returned to winning ways in the league as they edged out Luton Town 1-0 last time out.
Prior to that, Vincent Kompany’s side saw their run of 10 consecutive league wins come to an end on February 14 when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Watford.
With 72 points from 32 matches, Burnley sit at the top of the EFL Championship table with a healthy 11-point lead over second-placed Sheffield United.
