Vincent Kompany’s side are now just three points adrift of safety following last week’s emphatic 4-1 win against Sheffield United.
Lyle Foster hobbled off during that game with a knock, but Kompany has confirmed the striker is “fine”.
With that in mind, here’s how we think the Clarets will line up:

7. CM - Sander Berge

8. RW - Vitinho
