The Clarets are likely to use their second round tie as an opportunity to hand out some much-needed minutes to those players who haven’t featured much during the opening two games of the season.
Given Burnley’s bloated squad, a number of players are in need of competitive action – and this cup tie comes at the perfect time ahead of Saturday’s visit to Manchester United.
Both sides have some injury concerns to contend with heading into Tuesday night’s encounter, so here's an early look at the team news for both outfits:
