Burnley vs Sunderland: Predicted Lineup and Team Updates

Burnley visits the Stadium of Light on Monday night, seeking to end a 14-match winless streak in the Premier League.

Under Scott Parker, the team has shown improvement recently, with three draws out of their last four games against strong opponents. However, Burnley sits second from the bottom and needs to turn their defensive progress into points. Overcoming Sunderland’s unbeaten home record will be challenging, especially considering Burnley’s road performance, where they have frequently conceded goals.

Scott Parker has welcomed back two key defenders, Zian Flemming and Joe Worrall, who are fit to play. Unfortunately, Zeki Amdouni, Connor Roberts, and Josh Cullen are still out injured. As a result, Parker might opt for a three-man defense to counter Sunderland’s strong late-game attack.

Martin Dúbravka is set to start in goal, backed by Maxime Estève and Axel Tuanzebe in defense. In midfield, Florentino Luís and Lesley Ugochukwu will provide a solid defensive presence. Jaidon Anthony, who has scored five goals this season, including one in the earlier match against Sunderland, remains a key attacking player. Lyle Foster is expected to be the main striker, while recent loan addition James Ward-Prowse might debut from the bench.
