Burnley (A) - Sat 2nd April, 15:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[SWPISHOME]

Mee will be a miss for them without a doubt. I think Pep will have an eye on Tuesday's CL game, so it will be interesting to see what the starting 11 will be.

Personally I can't see many changes from the team that will play against Burnley and the team that plays against Atletico Madrid bar 2/3 changes. Every game from now until the end of the season are basically all cup finals. Absolutely no margin for error now. Would be nice to have a cushion in the Premier League, Hopefully that cushion will come on April 10th.

Last 9 games 32-1 with Ben Mee against them, no fuckin about another 0-5 please

Must win for both teams, won't be that easy unless/until we get the first two goals.

Mee cropped Sergio a season or so ago so glad he is missing - a clumsy player at best.

Burnley's injuries from Lancs live

Burnley do not have a Premier League game for two weekends and it is hoped Matej Vydra will return to the fold for the game against Man City on April 2.

The striker dislocated his elbow as he closed in on a comeback from a hernia operation and hasn't featured for the Clarets since the draw at Arsenal on January 23.

He is out of contract in the summer and is set to leave the club with no talks over a new deal having taken place.

The striker, who will miss the Czech Republic's World Cup qualifying play off with Sweden, does not require surgery and he could come into contention for the visit of City.

But Ben Mee is unlikely to recover in time for that game while Nathan Collins is suspended and Johann Berg Gudmundsson remains sidelined.

If I was Burnley, I'd want to keep hold of Vydra, especially if they go down. He'd definitely get them goals in the Championship.

In the ideal world yes, but we have injuries to Dias and Stones which leaves us with two left footed CH's, plus Walker is suspended for the 1st leg against AM.

Assuming neither CH's are fit enough, my early team for Burnley

Ederson

Cancelo
Walker
Laporte
Ake

Bernardo
Rodri
Gundogan

Mahrez
KDB
Foden

Cant rest the big guns , needs to get everyone up to speed and we no longer have a big lead in the prem so everyone needs to play both games

I agree, but I think Pep will rotate as he has done previously.
