Burnley will be aiming to extend their lead at the top of the Championship table when they take on Swansea City.

Vincent Kompany’s men are currently three points clear of second-place Sheffield United, having lost just two league matches this season.

The Clarets recorded a hard-fought 1-0 victory at Stoke City in their last outing, with Josh Cullen getting the decisive goal from close range.

Team news

Summer signing Darko Churlinov made his first league start for Burnley against Stoke following a spell on the sidelines.

Jay Rodriguez and Anass Zaroury started on the bench against the Potters, with Ashley Barnes getting the nod up front.

Swansea forward Michael Obafemi – who was previously linked with a move to Turf Moor - hasn’t featured in over a month due to injury.

Opposition lowdown

Swansea currently find themselves 12th in the table as they aim to build on last season’s 15th-place finish.

Russell Martin’s side enter the game on the back of an emphatic 4-0 win against Watford, with Joel Piroe scoring twice.

The Swans have a decent record at home, having won six of their 12 league matches since the start of the campaign.

Head-to-head

Burnley have faced Swansea 49 times in their history, with a record of 19 wins, 13 draws and 17 defeats.

The Clarets ran out 4-0 winners when the sides met at Turf Moor earlier this season, with Jay Rodriguez bagging a brace.

Their last defeat in the fixture came in February 2018, with Ki Sung-Yueng scoring the winner that day.
