Given the lack of preparation time, with the club opting to part ways with Parker on Thursday, Jackson has opted to go with the same side that pushed Manchester City all the way last time out.

But ultimately last week’s 1-0 defeat proved to be the result that condemned the Clarets to relegation, something that has been on the cards for some time.

The only changes come on the bench, where Zeki Amdouni is named in a match day squad for the first time this season.

The Swiss international has been sidelined since last summer having suffered an ACL injury in pre-season.

Hannibal also returns from a hamstring injury to be named among the substitutes having been out since the defeat to Fulham.

Mike Tresor and Lyle Foster are the two to drop out of the squad, while Axel Tuanzebe, Jacob Bruun Larsen and Ashley Barnes also continue to be left out.
