Burnley host Wolverhampton Wanderers at Turf Moor in a Championship fixture that carries real weight for both clubs, though for very different reasons.
The Clarets sit 21st in the table under Nicky Hayen, fighting to drag themselves away from the relegation places. A home win is close to a necessity.
Wolves arrive in Lancashire in 10th, managed by Cesar Peixoto, with ambitions of pushing into the top half rather than being dragged into a scrap they would rather avoid.
The visitors come into this one carrying a significant blow. Raul Jimenez, the veteran striker who has been a focal point of Wolves' attack, has been ruled out until January after a persistent knee problem required corrective surgery. It is a loss that weakens Peixoto's options considerably.
Burnley will draw some confidence from their own walls. Turf Moor has long been a difficult place to visit, and the Clarets will be looking to use that advantage to collect points they badly need.

Team news & squads
Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Probable lineups
Manager
- N. Hayen
Burnley have not confirmed any injuries or suspensions ahead of this fixture, and no probable lineup has been released. Updates are expected closer to kick-off as Nicky Hayen finalises his selection.
Wolves are without Raul Jimenez, who has been ruled out until January following knee surgery. Beyond that, Cesar Peixoto's squad has no confirmed additional absentees at this stage, though further team news is expected to be confirmed before the match.
Form
Burnley arrive at this fixture with a mixed recent record, picking up one win, three draws and one defeat across their last five Championship outings. Their best result in that run was a commanding 4-0 win at Watford, though they have found consistency hard to come by, drawing 2-2 with Charlton Athletic and 1-1 with both Derby County and Wrexham. A 3-1 defeat to Swansea City represents their low point in that stretch. Across those five matches, the Clarets scored nine goals and conceded eight, suggesting an open side that struggles to keep things tight.
Wolves have found the Championship a difficult adjustment, winning just once in their last five matches across all competitions. Their solitary Championship win in that run came against West Bromwich Albion, but back-to-back defeats to Bolton Wanderers, who beat them 3-1, and Middlesbrough, who kept a clean sheet in a 1-0 win, have put pressure on Peixoto's side. Wolves scored three goals across those five games and conceded five, a return that underlines why they need a response away from home.
Head-to-Head Record
The most recent meeting between these two sides ended 1-1 at Turf Moor in the Premier League back in May 2026, a result that continued a trend of tight encounters between the clubs. Looking across the last five head-to-head fixtures, Wolves have edged the series slightly, with Burnley's most notable win coming in October 2025 when they claimed a 3-2 victory at Molineux. The two sides have shared the points on two occasions in that five-game run, with Wolves winning twice and Burnley once.
