Burnley enter their third-round Carabao Cup tie against Cardiff City on Tuesday, seeking a much-needed victory to build confidence.
The Clarets’ return to the Premier League has brought mixed results. The cup fixture is a welcome opportunity for them to get back to winning ways in front of their home fans.
Scott Parker’s side can also draw on a phenomenal home record against the Bluebirds. Burnley have won their last nine consecutive meetings with Cardiff at Turf Moor, a run stretching back decades. Continuing that dominance will be the primary objective for a much-changed side as they look to book their place in the fourth round.
