Burnley host Brentford at Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon while they aim to secure their first home win since October and keep their survival hopes alive.
The Clarets have moved into a critical period of their season, sitting eight points from safety despite picking up four points from their last two matches. Manager Scott Parker oversaw a spirited 1–1 draw at Chelsea last weekend and has issued a “rallying cry” to supporters for what he describes as a “massive game”. Notably, Burnley have won their last three home league games against Brentford, including both previous Premier League meetings at Turf Moor.
Burnley Team News
Scott Parker manages a squad hampered by a lengthy injury list but bolstered by a key midfield presence. Notably, Hannibal is ready for selection after a difficult week, supported by the club’s “care mechanisms”. Consequently, he is expected to feature in a midfield unit missing Josh Cullen. Notably, Zian Flemming is the club’s joint-top scorer with six goals, but all of his strikes this season have come away from home. Jaidon Anthony, meanwhile, provides a more balanced threat with three goals both home and away.
Martin Dúbravka will start in goal behind a defensive line likely featuring Chris Mepham and Maxime Estève. In midfield, Lesley Ugochukwu and Hannibal are expected to anchor the side. Jaidon Anthony and Edwards will provide the width, supporting Zian Flemming, who is poised to lead the line. Notably, Burnley have the league’s lowest expected goals (xG) total of 22.7, highlighting the urgent need for a clinical performance tonight.
