SHEFFIELD Wednesday arrive at Turf Moor looking to regain some pride and pick up some precious points.
While the Owls improved their League standing with a 1-0 Hillsborough success over Crewe last weekend, they then went to Gresty Road in the FA Cup's third round in midweek and lost 2-1.
It was a cup upset that was not expected after the Owls excellent run in the Worthington Cup that sees them take on Blackburn at Ewood Park on Tuesday.
And Wednesday's long-serving keeper Kevin Pressman is looking for a backlash at Turf Moor tomorrow.
While the Worthington Cup run has raised confidence in the Hillsborough camp, the 34-year-old keeper felt that continued involvement in the FA Cup would have been a boost.
Now their attention has to switch to the all-important task of accumulating League points.
"I am absolutely gutted," said Pressman. "It was a chance to have the pressures of the league taken away but it's not to be.
"We now have to knuckle down and focus on the League but the Crewe game was disappointing, as it's a game everyone had been looking forward to and we didn't perform."
And the player-coach was not short of taking on some of the responsibility for the goals that saw the Railwaymen shunt the Owls into an FA Cup siding.
"I am disappointed with the two goals we conceded," he said.
"For the first goal, we didn't pick up the runner and the second we didn't defend the corner properly.
"At the end of the day, we have ourselves to blame as they weren't great goals but poor marking and defending."
Wednesday come to Turf Moor with injury problems as Owen Morrison's return to action after his calf strain was cut short as he was stretchered off midway through the first-half of this reserve team outing at home to Sunderland in midweek.
However, there was no major damagehe could be availabile for selection for the visit to Burnley.
Left full-back Andy Hinchcliffe is out and is to see a specialist to assess the extent of a knee injury.
The England defender is likely to be out of action for at least six weeks, after he was forced to exit Saturday's League match with Crewe after just 17 minutes and Ian Hendon is to see a second specialist over his shin problem and will not travel.
