Burnley
Middlesbrough

Prediction

  • Burnley's attacking output has improved considerably in recent weeks and the Clarets flexed their muscles in a 2-0 away win against Stoke last time out.
  • Scott Parker's men have climbed to second in the standings after winning four consecutive Championship matches, and they have conceded just six goals in 18 league games.

  • They dominated Hull in a 3-1 home win last Saturday and have won four of their last five league games ahead of the trip to Turf Moor.
