Team news, key stats and ways to follow ahead of Burnley vs Bournemouth on Saturday (3pm kick-off).
Burnley striker Chris Wood (hamstring) faces and race to be fit against Bournemouth, while Ashley Barnes (hernia) remains out.
It means Matej Vydra could earn his first Premier League start of the season following his match-winning strike against Southampton last time out.
The Clarets are also expected to welcome Johann Berg Gudmundsson (thigh) back from injury after six weeks on the sidelines.
Bournemouth welcome midfielder Jefferson Lerma back from suspension ahead of the trip to Turf Moor, but remain without David Brooks (ankle), Lloyd Kelly (thigh) and Arnaut Danjuma (foot).

As soon as you say this, you know it is going to be tight. Burnley played well at Southampton and Sean Dyche picked the team just as you would expect. Jay Rodriguez comes in and does the job, as well as Matej Vydra. Dwight McNeil looks a good player, but the wide players are key as the midfielders are generally not scoring enough goals. The centre forwards or defenders are where the goals are coming from. Dyche will not care as long as they win, and I fully respect that. It has certainly got them out of trouble in the last four games alone. I do not see them in the debate when talking about the relegation battle - they could see this as being one game from safety.
Bournemouth are heading back to being good at what they are best at. They take a risk at the back and rely on Aaron Ramsdale, while the two Wilsons, Harry and Callum, are performing. They do need Josh King to settle after the Manchester United speculation, and they have missed David Brooks, but they need to find the solution of goals coming from differing areas. Their form has looked a bit more encouraging and I do think they have something in them to earn a draw from this.
CHARLIE PREDICTS: 1-1 (15/2 with Sky Bet)
