Burnley

Burnley go into Saturday's game without Dastan Satpaev, Hannibal and Jacob Bruun Larsen. Satpaev and Bruun Larsen are both out through injury, while Hannibal is not registered; all three have started twice in Burnley's last five matches, and their absence narrows Hayen's options with the club sitting 24th on three points.

At the back, Oliver Sonne and Kyle Walker have shared right-back duty with barely anything to separate them, and Walker has also filled in at right centre-back alongside Anel Ahmedhodzic and Hjalmar Ekdal. The pair look set to line up together again here, with Sonne wide and Walker expected to move inside. Aaron Ramsey has started four of the last five league games and been substituted in every one.

Derby County

Joe Ward and Carlton Morris both made their first league starts of the season against Birmingham City last time out, at right-back and up front respectively, and both are expected to keep their places this weekend. Rhian Brewster remains sidelined by injury after making two starts across the last five matches.

In central defence, Dion Sanderson did not feature against Birmingham after starting the previous four games, with Eiran Cashin coming in alongside Sondre Langås. Right-back has been shared around in the last five matches, with five different players starting there, but Ward is expected to retain the position after his recent start.
