Mike Jackson’s pre-match comments

“There’s mixed emotions heading into this final game.

“We’re obviously encouraged by the last two performances, but you've always got that thing sitting at the back of your mind that you've not achieved what you set out to do, so there's always a little bit of that. But the main thing for us now is to finish the season off properly.

“For us, the motivation is now we can't change what's happened, but we can change and affect how we leave it.

“The boys know what we need to do and what the game is. Nobody wants to finish bottom of the league, so that's our full focus.”

What are the predicted teams?

Burnley: Weiss, Walker, Tuanzebe, Esteve, Pires, Florentino, Ugochukwu, Hannibal, Tchaouna, Anthony, Flemming

Wolves: Sa, Mosquera, S. Bueno, Krejci, Wolfe, Andre. J. Gomes, R. Gomes, Mane, Hwang, Armstrong

Who is the referee?
