Match Preview:

A massive game awaits Burnley on Saturday as they take on Wolves who have been one of the best if not the best pound for pound team in the league.

Burnley are 17^th and the disappointment for the club is that they come into this game having lost 4 in a row. Perhaps having the international break has helped the team and with them having home advantage they will be aiming to get some points. However Sean Dyche’s side have lost their last two games here against Crystal Palace and Leicester.

Burnley could go five points clear of 18^th with a win, and knowing that Cardiff who are their only threat have to play Chelsea on Sunday a win here would be a major boost for the team.

Wolves are a curious side. On one hand they have lost just 1 game from their past five matches but on another they have won just 1 game from the same period of time.

They are in 7^th place but there are 4 teams that could realistically pass them and although they will want a strong finish to the season surely the club are also thinking about the FA Cup where they have reached the semi finals and will play Watford.

Wolves have lost 33% of their games away from home with their last away win coming against Everton at the beginning of February. Their last away game ended in a 1-1 draw against Chelsea.
