2. GK - Arijanet Muric

3. RB - Connor Roberts
Right-back is another position where the Clarets are looking to strengthen, with Leeds' Cody Drameh linked. But as it stands Roberts will battle it out with Vitinho for a place in the starting XI. Photo: CameraSport - Ian Cook
4. CB - Jordan Beyer
Now at Turf Moor permanently, the German impressed on loan last season. Centre back is one area of the pitch where the Clarets look especially strong. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
