The Clarets are back in action this weekend with Crewe Alexandra the visitors to Turf Moor. Burnley will be looking to get back to winning ways following the 2-1 defeat against Gillingham 2 weeks ago.

Burnley will be looking to put the last 2 defeats behind them tomorrow as we go in search of our first 3 points at the Turf. Steve Cotterill has named an unchanged side for all of our games so far but this will change tomorrow with Micah Hyde missing the match after being sent off against Gillingham.

Cotterill willl probably do one of two things. He will either bring in Lee Roche on the right and push Ian Moore upfront in a 4-4-2 system or he will bring in Joel Pilkington in a straight swap for Hyde and keep his 4-5-1 formation with Ian Moore on the right.

There are concerns of the fitness of Danny Coyne in goal who missed both of Wales' matches during the week. Brian Jensen didn't play in the reserves during the week and thisa may have been a precautionary measure.

Crewe are expected to be unchanged from the team that beat Derby 4-2 before the International break.
