Burnley vs Derby County - Burnley likely to be unchanged once again as Derby visit Turf Moor

Posted Sunday, January 24, 2016 by PA

Burnley will select from the same squad again when they welcome Derby to Turf Moor on Monday night.

The Clarets have named the same starting XI for four successive fixtures and have taken 10 points in that time, so Sean Dyche has little reason to shuffle his pack.

Back-up goalkeeper Matt Gilks has an elbow injury, though, so Tom Heaton's deputy on the bench is likely to once again be 20-year-old Australian Danijel Nizic.

Lukas Jutkiewicz and Ashley Barnes (both knee) remain Burnley's two long-term absentees.

Derby head coach Paul Clement will also pick from an unchanged squad - but he make make changes to his team.

The Rams are without a league win in four matches, losing twice, and Clement has plenty of options available should he feel the need to freshen things up.

Chris Baird or Ryan Shotton are alternatives in defence and Jacob Butterfield has a chance of being recalled in midfield, while further forward Abdoul Camara, Andreas Weimann, Chris Martin and Darren Bent are all vying for opportunities.

Scott Carson returned to the squad last weekend after missing nine games with a back problem and Clement could even opt to restore him in goal ahead of former Claret Lee Grant.
