Pre-match preview

Burnley

Burnley go into the visit of Derby County missing three players who had started recently. Dastan Satpaev and Jacob Bruun Larsen are both sidelined by injury, while Hannibal remains unavailable because he is not registered to play. All three had started at least twice across Burnley's last five matches.

Kyle Walker has switched between right-back and the centre of defence over the past month and is set to start in the middle again this weekend, with Igor Julio alongside him and Oliver Sonne at right-back. Zeki Amdouni and Largie Ramazani each have a goal and an assist from Burnley's last five matches, offering Nicky Hayen some attacking threat for a side that sits bottom of the table.

Derby County

Jacob Widell Zetterström, Derby County's goalkeeper in each of their last five matches, is ruled out at Burnley with a knee injury, leaving Josh Vickers expected to replace him. Henrik Meister remains sidelined too, working through concussion protocols after a head injury sustained against Birmingham City.

Dion Sanderson has been the more effective performer whenever selected, both at right-back and in the middle, but Joe Ward and Sondre Langås are set to continue there for now. Up front, Carlton Morris is set to keep his place after his first start in five matches against Birmingham City, while Sammie Szmodics and Bobby Clark continue to supply from midfield, each contributing a goal and an assist across Derby's last five matches.
