Burnley v Norwich: match preview

Burnley v Norwich: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Photograph: Guardian

Only a short while ago many Burnley supporters might have had a home fixture against newly promoted Norwich down as a banker, though that was before Teemu Pukki announced himself to the Premier League and before last weekend’s wholly unexpected toppling of champions Manchester City. The three points gained from that victory mean Daniel Farke’s side currently sit a point above Sean Dyche’s team in the table, and if Norwich are going to continue to be so adventurous just about any outcome is possible at Turf Moor. Though without a win since the opening day of the season, Burnley are still averaging a point a match, usually a blueprint for survival if it can be kept up, and a draw against the Canaries would probably satisfy all concerned.
