Team News

Burnley
Cardiff
  • Scott Parker could stick with the same starting XI that dominated Luton when his side takes on Cardiff on Saturday afternoon.
  • Nathan Redmond, Mike Tresor and Aaron Ramsey are all set to miss this gameweek two fixture due to injuries.
  • Erol Bulut could make three changes to the side that started against Sunderland with Mark McGuinness, Alex Robertson and Rubin Colwill all contenders to come into the starting line-up.
  • Summer signing Ryotaro Tsunoda is among four confirmed absentees for Cardiff.

Prediction

  • Burnley delivered on their pre-season billing of promotion frontrunners in gameweek one, opening the scoring after just six minutes and stretching their legs to beat Luton 4-1 at Kenilworth Road.
  • The Clarets have the best squad depth of any side in the division and are well-rested ahead of the visit of Cardiff.
  • Erol Bulut will be concerned with the reaction of his side after going 1-0 down against Sunderland on the opening weekend.
  • Cardiff went on to lose 2-0 on home soil in that game, and while a 2-0 win against Bristol Rovers in the Carabao Cup means that the visitors are off the mark for the season, it will do little to inspire confidence ahead of the trip to Turf Moor.
