"Amorim has won just 16 of his 45 games in charge, and seven of those came in last season's Europa League campaign. Another defeat to Burnley will leave the Portuguese teetering on the edge during the international break. Burnley looked set for a season of struggle when going down to Spurs on the opening day, but a hard-fought and deserved victory over Sunderland last time out will give them confidence heading into the weekend."

"Ruben Amorim made seven changes for the Carabao Cup exit before bringing on Bryan Mbeumo, Bruno Fernandes and Matthijs de Ligt when 2-0 down at half-time. Those three should start again, but Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko are likely to be rested after playing the full 120 minutes, plus a penalty shootout. Mason Mount, also a substitute, and Casemiro, who did not get off the bench, will come in."
