The Clarets head into the game off the back of their 2-0 defeat to league leaders Arsenal on Saturday.

A victory for the Clarets, or even a draw, would be a big positive for Scott Parker to remain outside the bottom three heading into the back end of November.
Both sides have some injury concerns to contend with heading into Saturday’s encounter, so here's an early look at the team news for both outfits:
