The Clarets will be out to end their 10-game winless streak when they take on Thomas Frank’s side tomorrow.
That run continued with a 2-2 draw against West Ham last week, where Vincent Kompany’s men squandered a two-goal lead.
As for the Bees, they’re not exactly in great form themselves having won just one of their last eight, leaving them just five points above the dropzone.
Both sides can currently bemoan lengthy injury lists, although Kompany did suggest there could be some “surprise” returns for this encounter.
Here's an early look at the team news for both outfits:
