Forward Thinking For Dyche

Chris Wood faces a fitness check but the Clarets’ strikeforce should be bolstered by the return of goal-scoring sidekick Ashley Barnes.

And Jack Cork is also in the frame to face former club Chelsea as Burnley prepare to face the high-flying Londoners at Turf Moor on Saturday night.

Wood moved level with Barnes on four Premier League goals apiece with the Clarets’ opening goal at Leicester City last Saturday before playing a part in what – but for VAR – would have been a leveller.

But the in-form frontman, who has scored four times in his last four games, has his ever-present record under threat due to a slight hamstring problem.
