Burnley intends to return to the Premier League. It is worth noting the fact that after 11 matches played, the "maroon" are on the 5th line in the standings, having 18 points to their credit.

The match of the previous game day ended in a draw with Cardiff City - 1:1.

In the previous two matches, the visiting team does not know victories. Stoke City drew with QPR (0-0), and also lost to Watford - 0-4.
