Team News

Burnley
Middlesbrough
  • Burnley look to be without striker Sam Vokes again, while there are also concerns about the fitness of midfielder Joey Barton.
  • Barton was substituted at half time against Birmingham City on Saturday, and could miss out against Middlesbrough, with David Jones in line to replace him.
  • Cristhian Stuani remains out through suspension after receiving a retrospective ban for elbowing Preston's Greg Cunningham earlier this month.
  • Adam Forshaw started against Bolton on Saturday, but Grant Leadbitter could come back into the side.
  • Jordan Rhodes and David Nugent will be in a straight fight to start up front for Boro.

Prediction

  • This is one of the biggest games of the season, with both teams bidding for automatic promotion.
  • Burnley are currently 19 games unbeaten and sit second in the Championship table, two points behind Middlesbrough.
  • Meanwhile, Aitor Karanka's men have now won six games in a row having hit form just at the right time.
