Sunderland bounced back from 1-0 down to draw 1-1 at home with Luton before the international break. The Black Cats had 1.46 expected goals, conceded after half time and Amad Diallo equalised late on.

Sunderland previously lost at home against Sheffield United (2-1) and beat Norwich away (1-0). 

Tony Mowbray’s side are winless in six of their last seven and seven points off the play-off places.

Midfield trio Dennis Cirkin, Corry Evans and Elliot Embleton are out. 

Defender Aji Alese and forward Ross Stewart are also out. 

Verdict

Burnley dominate teams at home and can move one step closer to promotion with a home win. The Clarets and Sunderland hit the net often and over 2.5 goals is likely.
