Jacob Bruun Larsen has been handed his first league start of the season for Burnley’s must-win clash against Sheffield United.

The winger has been a regular performer so far this term, but all 11 of his Premier League appearances have come off the bench.

But today the 25-year-old comes into Burnley’s starting XI in place of Johann Gudmundsson.

It’s the only change Vincent Kompany has made to his Clarets side following last week’s cruel 2-1 defeat to West Ham.

Arijanet Muric misses out once again with an infection, while Jack Cork remains sidelined with a knock he picked up in training.

Lyle Foster, meanwhile, continues to take a break from football to receive specialist treatment for his mental health.

The likes of Ameen Al-Dakhil, Connor Roberts, Hannes Delcroix, Josh Cullen, Manuel Benson, Darko Churlinov and Anass Zaroury are not involved.

As for Sheffield United, they make three changes to the side that were comfortably beaten at home by Bournemouth last week.

Paul Heckingbottom’s men languish inside the relegation zone on five points, one point above Burnley who continue to prop up the division.

The Clarets have yet to pick up a single point at Turf Moor so far this season, losing seven straight games.
