Elsewhere, CJ Egan-Riley starts as normal after the Clarets successfully appealed against the red card he was shown at full-time against the Baggies.

Lyle Foster is also fit enough to feature on the bench despite suffering a dead leg during the final stages of the midweek draw.

Jordan Beyer, Bashir Humphreys, Jonjo Shelvey, Aaron Ramsey, Enock Agyei and Mike Tresor all remain sidelined.

As for Swansea, loanee Hannes Delcroix is ineligible to face his parent club as caretaker boss Alan Sheehan makes one change from the midweek 1-0 defeat to Watford. Kyle Naughton is the man to take Delcroix’s place in defence.
