Mark Lawrenson makes latest Burnley scoreline prediction ahead of Wolves encounter

The Clarets will head into the match feeling confident following their impressive 1-1 draw with Liverpool last weekend, while Wolves bounced back from their Sheffield United defeat to see off Everton 3-0.

Writing for BBC Sport, Mark Lawrenson has predicted a 2-0 win for Nuno Espirito Santo's side tonight.

Justifying his selection, Lawro claimed: "Wolves returned to winning ways against Everton at the weekend, which is one of the impressive things about them - they don't let the odd bad result affect them, or alter their game plan when they lose.

"As good as Burnley have been of late - and they were very good when they held Liverpool last time out - if Wolves play well, they will win."

Meanwhile, Lawro's sparring partner for the midweek fixtures, DJ and Aston Villa fan Nathan Dawe, also backed Wolves to win 2-0.

He revealed: "Wolves have been amazing for midlands football, but I can't help being a little bit jealous of their success.

"They play brilliant football and, if they recruit properly in the next transfer window, then next season they are going to be real contenders - and I am talking about for the title."

The last time the two sides met, back in August, Wolves snatched a draw in the 98th minute of the match, with star striker Raul Jimenez converting a dramatic late penalty at Molineux.
