Burnley's Premier League return began with a sobering 3-0 defeat at Tottenham, but Scott Parker has challenged his players to draw strength from Turf Moor this afternoon.
He makes two changes, with Jacob Bruun Larsen and young midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu — making his first top-flight start — both coming into the XI.
'The fans were crucial last year… they were a driving force,' Parker said this week. 'There's going to be some adversity, but I've absolutely no doubt our fanbase can help this young team.'
Sunderland, though, arrive with confidence after a thumping 3-0 win over West Ham last time out.
