Team news, stats and prediction ahead of Burnley vs Wolves in the Premier League on Wednesday (kick-off 6pm).

Team news

Sean Dyche revealed Jack Cork's minor ankle operation had gone well ahead of Burnley's game with Wolves but said the midfielder will not feature again this season.

Ben Mee is also likely to remain sidelined for Burnley's remaining games along with Matt Lowton and Barnes, who are both making progress.

Winger Pedro Neto is one of several "issues to assess" for Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo ahead of Wednesday's Premier League game at Burnley.

The Portuguese was forced off early in the second half of Wolves' 3-0 home win against Everton on Sunday.

Neto has been training with fitness coach Antonio Dias since, although Nuno confirmed it is not the same problem he suffered against Arsenal a couple of weeks ago.

Charlie's prediction

Burnley are the kind of team Wolves need to go at. They are in the Europa League places having put their foot down again at the weekend.

These are the games that are awkward. Wolves can match Burnley physically, who earned a great point at Anfield and are still not out of the European picture themselves.

Wolves' bit of quality tends to shine through, and I think that will be the case here.

CHARLIE PREDICTS: 1-2 (17/2 with Sky Bet)
