Vincent Kompany has revealed the Clarets could have some players back from injury for the game following the two-week international break.
Jordan Beyer and Hjalmar Ekdal, meanwhile, are likely to remain sidelined, with Ameen Al-Dakhil is a doubt – leaving Kompany with a potential shortage of centre-backs.
With that in mind, here’s how we think the Clarets might line up at the Gtech Community Stadium...
