EPL: Burnley v Newcastle United preview


Burnley v Newcastle United preview

Burnley boss Sean Dyche will be determined to ignore the speculation about his future as his side welcome Newcastle to Turf Moor.


The former Watford manager has been linked with Leicester and Everton in recent weeks but he remains with the Clarets for the time being.

While Dyche insists his future is with Burnley, the players may be unsettled with the speculation ahead of kick-off.

Dyche could be without Chris Wood and Sam Vokes, leaving just Ashley Barnes and Nakhi Wells as his only strike options on Monday.

Wood is battling a hamstring injury, while Vokes has been nursing an abdominal strain that saw him miss last week's game at the Etihad Stadium.

Burnley have been in disappointing form of late, with just one win in their last five outings in the top flight.

Newcastle on the other hand are improving under Rafa Benitez and they can extend their unbeaten run this week.

The Magpies are seventh in the league table after two draws and a win in their last few matches.

Striker Dwight Gayle will return to the squad after overcoming a calf problem but Paul Dummett continues to nurse a hamstring injury.

The two teams have only played each other on two occasions in the Premier League, with both games during the 2014/15 season ending in a draw.
