Vincent Kompany’s men will be aiming to draw level on points with Nottingham Forest when they return to action this weekend.
The Clarets cut the gap to Nuno Espirito Santo’s men to just three points last week with an emphatic 4-1 win against bottom side Sheffield United, while Forest were beaten by Everton.
With Forest in action against title holders Manchester City this weekend, Saturday’s game presents another priceless opportunity for Kompany’s charges.
Heading into Saturday’s encounter, here's an early look at the team news for both outfits:
