Burnley are aiming to maintain their recent good form as they host Norwich City in a midweek Championship fixture. With Norwich struggling to find their best form in recent weeks, the hosts will fancy their chances of coming out on top.
It has been a good start to the season for Burnley, who have lost just once in 16 Championship matches so far. They are currently in the mix for automatic promotion, sitting third on the table just one point off the top.
Things have been particularly good for Burnley in recent weeks as they appear to be hitting their stride under manager Vincent Kompany. They have won three of their last four Championship matches and picked up a 4-2 victory at Sunderland last Saturday.
Home form has been pivotal to Burnley’s fine campaign as they are unbeaten at Turf Moor this term. The Clarets have also won three of their last four home matches and thrashed Swansea City 4-0 in their previous fixture in front of their fans.
Norwich City made a fine start to the season and were top of the table at some point. However, they appear to have come off the boil in recent weeks and are now sixth on the table after failing to win in their last five matches with three defeats in that run.
The Canaries were held to a 2-2 draw by Sheffield United in their previous Championship fixture. Manager Dean Smith will be disappointed with his side as they threw away a two-goal lead from Teemu Pukki.
The manner of the result at Sheffield United highlights a major problem for Norwich as they are without a clean sheet in their last five Championship matches.
