Strongest Burnley line-up to face Huddersfield Town in the Premier League
Burnley have finally hit the ground running in the Premier League this season after an early end to their Europa League adventures in the play-off stages.
The Clarets have registered back-to-back victories, including a 4-0 thrashing of Bournemouth a couple of weeks back, and they must aim to extend their winning streak to three games in a row when they play host to Huddersfield Town on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Huddersfield Town should be looking to get something out of the match since they are currently at the bottom of the table and are yet to register a win this season.
Team News
James Tarkowski suffered a groin injury in the previous game and Ben Gibson is yet to gain full fitness following his pelvic injury. Barring these two, Sean Dyche will have his full squad of players to choose from.
Formation: 4-4-1-1
Manager: Sean Dyche
Joe Hart (GK)
The former England international has rediscovered his old form and has made some brilliant saves this season. He must continue his good run of form.
Matthew Lowton (RB)
He has done a much better job than Phil Bardsley and must continue in the right-back position.
Ben Mee (CB)
He was one of the stars of Burnley’s Premier League campaign last time around but has been a bit inconsistent at the back this season. However, the manager should keep faith in him.
Kevin Long (CB)
He is one of the longest-serving players in the Clarets’ ranks and will be expected to fill in the boots of the injured James Tarkowski.
Charlie Taylor (LB)
He has done a decent job and Dyche should hand him another start.
Aaron Lennon (LM)
The former English international has shown glimpses of his brilliance this season and Burnley must rely on him to deliver the goods on Saturday.
Jack Cork (LCM)
He has done a fair job in the midfield with his passing and should start at the weekend.
Ashley Westwood (RCM)
Came up with a strong performance against Cardiff City last weekend and should find himself in the starting XI on Saturday.
Johann Berg Gudmundsson (RM)
He has established himself as a key figure in Burnley’s attack and scored the opening goal in the previous outing against Cardiff. Dyche should continue starting him.
Matej Vydra (CAM)
The Czech Republic international was a huge success in the Championship last season and Burnley must continue deploying him regularly.
