Match preview

Burnley are back on the survival bike courtesy of their 2-0 win over a Southampton side who simply beggar belief right now, but Wolves will present a far sterner challenge and at a decent price.

The Old Gold have had 16 days off since losing at Newcastle so head for Turf Moor fresh and ready to put the icing on a decent first season under Bruno Lage. They will still be thinking they can qualify for Europe.

And they will be well aware that sorry Saints, as wretched as they were on Thursday, could have been three or four up inside the first ten minutes before quickly deciding to hoist a white flag instead.

There's a belief under Mike Jackson which makes the Clarets a threat but there are also 21 points between these two in the table and 15-8 about the visitors does look an attractive price.

Key stat

Wolves' have scored more points away from home than at Molineux this season.
