Burnley were in Emirates FA Cup action last weekend, drawing 0-0 against League One side Ipswich Town. Their most recent league outing was a 2-1 victory over West Bromwich Albion.

Today's game will also be played during the EFL's Green Football Weekend with supporters of both sides encouraged to take climate-friendly actions during their matchday routine.
