Burnley Preview – Can the Clarets extend unbeaten run?

Vincent Kompany has made a steady start to life at Burnley. The Clarets are sitting in fifth spot with 13 points to their name. They have picked up three wins, four draws and have suffered just one defeat.

Since a narrow loss at Watford on matchday three, Burnley are undefeated in five league matches, though three of those have ended in draws. They were seconds away from winning at West Bromwich Albion in the last one, but the Baggies netted in injury time to rescue a point at The Hawthorns.

Our betting prediction:
Both teams to score
8/11

(odds taken 1511 GMT, Thursday 8 September)

 
Victory on Friday will take Burnley above Norwich and into second on goal difference. They are the slight favourites to get the points on home soil, with Paddy Power offering narrow odds of 6/5.

Norwich City Preview – Will the Canaries secure a sixth consecutive win?

Norwich City have been a yo-yo club in recent years, and promotion to the Premier League is the aim again for the Canaries. City, who finished bottom last term, made a poor start to this campaign, taking just one point from their first three fixtures.

Since a 2-1 loss to Hull City in mid-August, Dean Smith’s men have really turned a corner. Norwich have gone on to win five on the trot in the Championship, seeing off Huddersfield Town, Millwall, Sunderland, Birmingham City and Coventry City. Can they make it six wins in a row on Friday night?
