Sunderland journey to Turf Moor on Friday for their Championship game with Burnley, and we have the latest injury news and predicted line ups to hand.

Burnley, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 1-3 FA Cup triumph against Reading. It looks as if The Clarets may well kick off with a 4-2-3-1 system this time with James Trafford, Connor Roberts, CJ Egan-Riley, Maxime Estève, Bashir Humphreys, Josh Cullen, Josh Laurent, Jeremy Sarmiento, Josh Brownhill, Jaidon Anthony and Zian Flemming.

Benson Manuel, Hannes Delcroix, Mike Trésor and Aaron Ramsey are not available for Burnley gaffer Scott Parker.

Possible Burnley team versus Sunderland

After a loss in their previous game against Stoke City in FA Cup competition, Sunderland will be aiming to make amends here. There’s a good chance that The Black Cats seem most likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 formation by sending out Anthony Patterson, Trai Hume, Chris Mepham, Luke O'Nien, Aji Alese, Dan Neil, Jobe Bellingham, Patrick Roberts, Eliezer Mayenda, Adil Aouchiche and Wilson Isidor.

Sunderland boss Régis Le Bris has not got a full squad to pick from. Alan Browne (Broken leg), Niall Huggins (Knee surgery) and Salis Abdul Samed (Muscle injury) won’t be making appearances.
