Zeki Amdouni faces more than a month out with an ankle injury, having already missed the draw with Charlton. Jamie Vardy, given his first start of this run in that game, looks likely to lead the line again up front.
At the back, Anel Ahmedhodzic was substituted with an injury during that same match. Hjalmar Ekdal and Igor Julio are expected to form the central pairing against Wolverhampton Wanderers, while Aaron Ramsey remains out with a hamstring problem. Burnley have won just once in their last five league games and sit 21st with eight points ahead of Friday's match.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Rodrigo Gomes is doubtful with a foot injury and may not return to training until the following week. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, who scored on his first start in the latest five matches against Bolton Wanderers, is expected to continue against Burnley. Jordan James also made his first start in that game and should keep his place alongside André in central midfield.
Kieran Trippier is expected to retain the right-back position after starting three of the last five matches there, while Ladislav Krejci should continue on the left of the back four ahead of Toti. Fer López, who has scored twice in his last four starts, is expected to line up again behind Adam Armstrong alongside Mateus Mané and Bellegarde.
