BurnleySwansea City
Carlos Carvahal has had an instant impact at the Liberty Stadium – only losing one of his 9 games in charge so far in all competitions. Famous home wins over Liverpool and Arsenal as well as a point on the road at Leicester last time out have propelled the Swans up the table to 17th place with 24 points from their opening 26 matches. Jordan Ayew is the principal goal threat for the Swans – his 8 goals have already improved their league position and is at the forefront what they do going forward now that Wilfried Bony is injured.
Burnley
The Clarets have enjoyed an amazing first half of the season and sit 7th with only 12 games remaining and they have a remarkable 36 points to their name. They are however, without a win in their last 10 matches in all competitions and should be buoyed by their incredible performance against Manchester City, coming from behind to draw 1-1. Ashley Barnes has scored 4 goals for Burnley this season and in the absence of record signing Chris Wood through injury, the Austrian has been entrusted with leading the line in recent weeks.
Head to Head
These two sides have faced off 46 times in nearly 90 years – with Burnley just edging the head to head 18:16 with an additional 13 draws taking place between the two sides. The Clarets picked up a comfortable 2-0 home win back in November thanks to first-half goals from former Swan Jack Cork and Ashley Barnes.
