Burnley face Wolverhampton Wanderers at Turf Moor on Sunday afternoon to close their respective Premier League campaigns.
Both clubs have already suffered relegation to the Championship this season. However, they will engage in a final-day battle to avoid the ignominy of finishing bottom. Burnley currently occupy 19th place with a two-point advantage over their struggling visitors.
Wolves must win in Lancashire to leapfrog their opponents and climb off the foot of the table. Rob Edwards’ men have spent a record 272 days rooted to the bottom this term.
This fixture represents only the second final-day game in Premier League history between two already-relegated sides. Burnley boast a strong recent record against their opponents, losing just one of their last 10 meetings. Meanwhile, Wolves arrive hoping to secure their first away league victory of the entire campaign.
