If Burnley’s season is to maintain on track, they must put their recent poor form to an end in this game. In their last two outings, they lost 0-2 at Manchester City and 2-0 at Brentford.

Also, With four defeats in the last four meetings, Sean Dyche’s Burnley are justifiably in the bottom half of the table, very much looking at a relegation battle. With 24 points (4W, 13L and 12D), they are established in eighteenth position in the League having won four meetings, drawn 12 fixtures, and lost 13 matches.

Burnley’s away record is remarkable and poses a significant threat to Norwich. In the 14 games they’ve played on the road this season, they have so far won one game, drawn six meetings, and lost seven matches.

A victory for Burnley would put them on 27 points.

Burnley are no strangers this season to illness and injury and Sean Dyche is concerned that Sunday’s fixture could see him without three of his key players
