Hard to call. Part of me thinks we'll beat them comfortably, but Burnley are capable of turning on a performance when you don't expect it. 1-2 Bamford, Dallas

A lot will come down to how well we cope with their press. We really struggled in the first game last season and we’re pretty lucky to get the 1-0 win. Firpo has been brought in to improve us in this respect so will be interesting to see if he makes a difference. Everton didn’t bother pressing us at all last week.

Think Burnley gave up a bit in the last game once we scored. Tough game but if we can cope with the press and control the game better we should cause them plenty of problems and win.

I don’t miss many games but on holiday on NC500 right now. Will be looking for a pub on route that might show the game.

Kebablegs, hope you aren't mucking up our laybys
I live on the east side of the NC500

I am very active in the art of litter picking back home. I have left no trace be rest assured! Unfortunately can’t say the same for everyone else!
I am parked up near Girnigoe castle right now - any recommendations of anywhere that might have the game on between here and Dornoch?

Last game at Turf Moor was a romp, but Burnley were safe at that point, and there was only pride to play for. I am expecting a very tight game with few opportunities at either end, 1-0 to us with Bam Bam to stick his finger in the Dyche

Kebab, I think somewhere in Wick might be your best bet, can't think of anywhere before Inverness, I'm in Invergordon and I end up using hesgoals or some other stream not paying for Sky 🙄

Check out Golspie and Dornoch itself you might be lucky 👍

Some on here who won't approve High.

Oh dear 😂

Indeed Highland….lay-bys now aren’t like they used to be back in the day, are they? <wink>

I’m thinking Bamford will want his name on the score sheet just before he joins the England squad, so I’m going for a Bamford brace sandwiching a Dallas effort.

A clean sheet will be a bonus.

We know Chris Wood and Harvey Barnes can be a right pain in the arris so if the defence can contain them, I think we should take the three points. There may be a good case for playing Cooper today but I hope Llorente is there too. Agree that a clean sheet would be stupendous - we need a first win in the PL to reinforce the mission!

COME ON LEEEEEEEEEEEEDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, you mean Ashley Barnes.

Meslier

Llorente Strujik Cooper

Ayling Phillips Dallas

Raphinha Rodrigo Harrison

Bamford

Subs: Klaesson, Cresswell, McCarron, Shackleton, Forshaw, Summerville, Roberts, Costa, Gelhardt

No Klich or Firpo in the squad.

Must be knocks. not a good start for Firpo if he continues being unavailable this often.

klich could be a big loss. Been really impressed with him so far and Rodrigo was awful against Crewe. Needs to perform today

Klich has Covid and is not involved. No Firpo today either. Llorente starts and so does Rodrigo.

Shame about Klich. Dallas for Firpo (this early in Firpo's tenure with the club) won't hurt us.

Burnley also have a bug advantage when compared to the last game at Turf Moor in that they are playing a goal keeper today.

That midfield needs to be at it 100% can't afford any passengers. Rodrigo there concerns me but let's give him the benefit of the doubt and with Foreshaw possibly fit enough to beef up the middle as a sub if required.

With Klich out of action with Covid more the good reason we need to invest in an extra midfielder especially if KP is injured or suspended. Let's hope the finances can be juggled so we can bring someone in by next Tuesday.

Firpo and Klich was a rumour doing the rounds this morning. Hoping ot weren't true. That's 4 absences/injuries in 3 games now.
