PREM: Wolves v Burnley preview

Wolves v Burnley preview

Burnley travel to Wolves looking to avoid their worst run of form since they were last relegated.

Burnley have lost their last three Premier League games - and the last time they suffered four straight defeats they were relegated, finishing bottom of the top flight in 2015.

The Clarets come into the match still looking for their first win of the season at the fourth time of asking, after a 2-0 defeat to Manchester United at Turf Moor last time out.

Manager Sean Dyche is looking for his side to treat the game as though it is their first of the season - having struggled to balance Europa League qualifying and the start of the Premier League campaign so far.

"I said to the lads it's a restart, because it's been so different for us," Dyche said.

"I think if you're familiar with the Europa scene and how it works, and all the quirks to it and all the travelling, that's different - for us it was new, something different.

"To work our way through that and then come out at the end, then it is slightly a restart, because you get that break, and the next game is coming and we move forward."

The atmosphere is rather different at Molineux, where Nuno Espirito Santo has shrugged off suggestions he could be the next manager of Manchester United, taking over from fellow Portuguese Jose Mourinho when he eventually departs the club.

Nuno Espirito Santo says he is ignoring speculation linking him to Man Utd

He said: "You know me, I don't talk about that. It doesn't make sense. Now is not the moment to even think. I totally ignore that.

"I go on a daily basis. I know what I have to do tomorrow to prepare the boys well for a tough game against Burnley.

"This is the way I look at the future, day by day. We ignore the situations, it doesn't affect us. The players know the reality, there is no transfers now anyway so there is no point in talking."

Burnley have Johan Berg Gudmundsson back available for Sunday's Premier League match, which Ben Gibson will sit out.

Winger Gudmundsson has recovered after missing the 2-0 home loss to Manchester United last time out due to a hamstring problem. Gibson, who was also not part of the squad for that game, is to see a specialist about his groin issue.

Fellow defender Stephen Ward is fit again after a foot injury saw him miss the Republic of Ireland's match against Poland on Tuesday.

Wolves could be without Raul Jimenez as the forward, who scored on the opening day of the season against Everton,

sustained a muscle injury while away on international duty with Mexico.

Portuguese winger Ivan Cavaleiro is yet to play this campaign due to a back problem and he will remain out.
