The Clarets now find themselves five points adrift of the top two after being held to a frustrating draw in a feisty Lancashire derby against Preston North End last time out.
With Leeds United and Sheffield United both winning, the pressure is on Scott Parker’s men to respond with all three points.
Parker admitted after the Deepdale draw that Marcus Edwards is “very close” to earning his first start, while Josh Brownhill will also be pushing to start after making his return off the bench against PNE.
With that in mind, here’s how we think the Clarets will line up:
