Team news

Burnley 


Burnley skipper Ben Mee is hoping to return to action in the home game against Stoke.

Centre-half Mee missed Saturday's home win against Watford due to a gashed knee and will be assessed, but right-back Matt Lowton (knee) is expected to miss his fourth match.

Midfielder Robbie Brady is recovering from knee surgery and will be out for six months, while goalkeeper Tom Heaton (dislocated shoulder) is still out.

Provisional squad: Pope, Lindegaard, Long, Mee, Taylor, Ward, Tarkowski, Bardsley, Defour, Hendrick, Cork, Westwood, Arfield, Gudmundsson, Vokes, Barnes, Wood, Wells.

Stoke  

Stoke have no fresh injury concerns but remain without Glen Johnson and Jese Rodriguez for the trip to Burnley.

Full-back Johnson is sidelined by a knee injury while on-loan Paris St Germain striker Jese is still in Gran Canaria with his ill son, and defender Bruno Martins Indi (groin) is also absent.

The Potters were thumped 5-1 by Tottenham on Saturday and manager Mark Hughes is set to make changes at Turf Moor, with Peter Crouch, Geoff Cameron and Charlie Adam likely to come into consideration for a starting berth.

Provisional squad: Butland, Grant, Haugaard, Zouma, Wimmer, Shawcross, Cameron, Pieters, Diouf, Edwards, Tymon, Fletcher, Allen, Adam, Afellay, Shaqiri, Choupo-Moting, Sobhi, Berahino, Crouch, Ngoy.

Stats - Provided by Opta

- Burnley are unbeaten in their three home Premier League games against Stoke, drawing two before winning 1-0 last season thanks to George Boyd’s goal.

- Stoke have only won one of their last 10 top-flight visits to Burnley (D6 L3), with that win coming in November 1975 (1-0).

- The last six league fixtures between these sides at Turf Moor have produced just five goals, with Burnley edging the scoring 3-2 (W2 D3 L1).

- Indeed, neither side has scored more than twice in any league meeting between these two in their last 20 games – since Burnley won 4-1 in April 1999.

- There have only been nine goals scored in eight Premier League games at Turf Moor this season (six for Burnley, three for opponents) – six fewer than any other Premier League ground.

- Burnley have now won 34 games in Premier League, with 25 of those being won by a single goal margin (74%).

- Sean Dyche’s side have collected 28 points from their 16 Premier League games this season – it took them seven games more (23 matches) to reach this tally in 2016-17.

- This is Stoke City’s lowest-ever points tally after 16 games of a Premier League season (16 points) and they have conceded more goals this season (35) than ever before at this stage of a Premier League campaign.

- Stoke City have won just 41 points from their last 40 Premier League matches under Mark Hughes (W10 D11 L19).

- Since the start of September, Xherdan Shaqiri has had a hand in nine goals in 12 Premier League appearances for Stoke City (four goals, five assists); this after an eight-game run without a single goal or assist for the club in the competition.
