Burnley v Brentford: match preview

Burnley v Brentford
Burnley v Brentford: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: Guardian

It is a measure of the credit Sean Dyche has accumulated in his nine years at Burnley that nobody seems to be questioning his position. The stats certainly do not make for good reading with 12 defeats from their past 18 league games and a run of 12 matches without a win. The return of Ben Mee after contracting Covid-19 and the form of Maxwel Cornet will give them hope of a first home success since January, against a Brentford side whose flying start to life in the top flight has been held up slightly by successive home defeats.
