Wolves Vs. Burnley: Clarets Look To Build On Sheffield Rout

There’s no time for Burnley to dwell on their big win against Sheffield United at the weekend as they’re thrown straight back into action.

Vincent Kompany’s men head to Wolves Tuesday night looking to capitalise on Saturday’s 5-0 thrashing of Sheffield United.

The result lifted the Clarets off the foot of the Premier League table and finally ended their seven-game losing streak on home turf.

Burnley take on a Wolves side that were beaten narrowly 2-1 by Arsenal at the weekend and sit 13th on the table.

Jordan Beyer will miss out through suspension after picking up his fifth booking of the season against Sheffield United on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Vincent Kompany also revealed Josh Cullen will be absent once again after not being involved at the weekend.

Elsewhere, Arijanet Muric (infection) and Jack Cork (calf injury) will also miss out, while Lyle Foster continues to take a break from football to receive specialist treatment for his mental wellbeing.

As for Wolves, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Pedro Neto and Joe Hodge are all likely to miss out with injuries, while Jose Sa and Jonny Otto are doubts.

It’s claimed Otto missed Wolves’ 2-1 defeat to Arsenal at the weekend as a result of a training ground incident.

The Spaniard has been a regular on Gary O’Neil’s bench this season but was a noticeable absentee at The Emirates on Saturday.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Vincent Kompany said:
“When you analyse these teams you’re always confronted with the depth in quality of those squads.

“They’ve got a £45m striker up front who is someone I think is really good. They’ve got quality.

“It’s no different for us though in every game we face in this league. We’ve been good in many. We haven’t always got the result but we’ve been good in many and we have to continue trying to follow that path and believe we’re going to get results.”
