Match Preview: Burnley v Cardiff City
Burnley host Cardiff City looking to record a third straight win and put Premier League safety within touching distance.
The Clarets’ 3-1 win at Bournemouth’s Vitality Stadium last weekend opened up an eight-point gap to the Bluebirds in 18th, meaning a win today would take Sean Dyche’s men 11 points clear of relegation.
If Eddie Howe’s Bournemouth fail to pick up three points today, then Burnley could even move up a place to 13th with a win.
Tonight’s game between Leicester City and Newcastle United at the King Power Stadium could have permutations before Saturday’s kick-off, with Rafael Benitez’ Magpies currently one point behind the Clarets.
