Burnley v Wolves: match preview

Burnley v Wolves
Burnley v Wolves: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Photograph: x

Burnley have taken four points from their past two games, good going since they were away to Arsenal and Aston Villa, and have not only climbed out of the bottom three but still have a game in hand on most of their rivals. Normality seems to be returning at Turf Moor, in other words, though no one should underestimate Wolves after their win against Chelsea on Tuesday. Losing Raúl Jiménez so soon after Diogo Jota was a blow, but one it appears Nuno Espírito Santo and his players can take in their stride. Paul Wilson
