Sports Mole previews Saturday's Premier League fixture between Norwich City and Burnley, including team news and predicted lineups.

Burnley make the trip to Carrow Road to face Norwich City on Saturday evening needing maximum points to retain any hope of qualifying for next season's Europa League.

Meanwhile, the Canaries play host to the Clarets in a game which marks their final home fixture before their relegation from the Premier League.


Match preview

Having been held to a 1-1 draw by Wolverhampton Wanderers in midweek, Burnley must now rely on an unlikely set of results to secure a return to the Europa League.

Nevertheless, despite the frustration of a missed opportunity on Wednesday night, Sean Dyche will be satisfied that his team managed to extend their recent unbeaten run to six matches.

The Clarets have now recorded 27 points from their most recent 14 outings, a return which can only fill Dyche with confidence ahead of the next campaign.

With Norwich and Brighton their remaining two opponents, Burnley have the opportunity to end the season with form which is on par to that of second-placed Manchester City.

Although maintaining that over an entire season is a considerably tougher ask, there will be a feeling that Burnley are well equipped to challenge for the top seven again next season.

Despite having relegation confirmed last week, Norwich will be determined to end a nine-match losing streak before the end of the campaign.

On occasions, Daniel Farke and his players can count themselves unfortunate to have put together such a demoralising run, particularly having pushed Manchester United all the way in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

However, the Canaries have barely laid a glove on either West Ham United or Chelsea in their last two outings, which should prompt a more attack-minded performance on Saturday.

Farke will hope that results in a goal for Teemu Pukki, who has not found the back of the net since January 22.

Norwich City Premier League form: LLLLLL

Burnley Premier League form: WWDWDD


Team News

Burnley may have to do without Jay Rodriguez, who was withdrawn during the second half against Wolves with an ankle problem.

Charlie Taylor also sustained an issue with his knee, putting Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Matej Vydra in contention for a recall.

Having started Tuesday's meeting with Chelsea among the replacements, Pukki could be brought back into the Norwich starting lineup.

Farke may also consider handing roles to at least one academy graduate as he begins to think about his plans for next season.

Norwich City possible starting lineup:
Krul; Aarons, Klose, Godfrey, Lewis; Tettey, McLean; Cantwell, Steipermann, Hernandez; Pukki

Burnley possible starting lineup:
Pope; Bardsley, Long, Tarkowski, Pieters; Gudmundsson, Westwood, Brownhill, McNeil; Vydra, Wood


We say: Norwich City 0-2 Burnley

Despite the pressure now being off Norwich, Burnley are the clear favourites to prevail in this contest. Although the Clarets will have to put in another efficient performance, we expect them to run out relatively comfortable winners.
