In a pivotal clash at the summit of the Championship, Burnley are set to host Middlesbrough at Turf Moor on Friday night.

Middlesbrough showcased their attacking prowess once again with a 3-1 victory over Hull last Saturday. However, their offensive momentum will be put to the test against a Burnley side boasting an exceptional defensive record.

Burnley team news

Manager Scott Parker is likely to shuffle his deck slightly, with Josh Brownhill and Lucas Pires in line to return to the starting XI. Despite their fine form, Burnley will be without as many as seven players for this crucial encounter.

Middlesbrough team news

Aidan Morris remains sidelined for the trip to Turf Moor as he continues to recover from a knee injury. However, Seny Dieng, Rav van den Berg, and Riley McGree are all vying for spots in the starting XI.

Dieng, who has been out of action for the past three matches due to illness, is now fit and ready to return. Yet, with stand-in goalkeeper Sol Brynn delivering standout performances in his absence, Michael Carrick faces a challenging decision over who will guard the net on Friday night.
