Wolves v Burnley predictions

Burnley have been waiting to announce themselves in the Premier League this season, but it will take more than a 5-0 home win over Sheffield United for Vincent Kompany's team to show they have a strong chance of avoiding relegation and a midweek visit to Wolves remains a daunting prospect.

The win over the Blades ended a run of six straight league Turf Moor losses for the Clarets as Jay Rodriguez's first-minuite strike set them on their way.

It was already 2-0 by the time United striker Oli McBurnie had been sent off just before the break, but it took Kompany's men until the 73rd minute to grab a third against ten men, so it may not have been as emphatic a success as the scoreline first suggests.

There is no doubt that Burnley will have to improve to get anything from their trip to Molineux after losing 11 of their opening 14 matches, and it looks unlikely that they will do enough.

Wolves fans may be concerned to have seen their team slip to 13th in the table after three defeats in four games, but there have been mitigating circumstances.

Gary O'Neil's side battled well after conceding two early goals at Arsenal on Saturday - goalkeeper Jose Sa also went off injured in the 23rd minute - and they were on the wrong end of some contentious penalty calls in defeats at Sheffield United and Fulham.

However, it is at home where they have particularly impressed, beating Tottenham with injury-time goals from Pablo Sarabia and Mario Lemina in their last Molineux outing.

That result came after they became the first side to beat champions Manchester City in the league this season and they also earned decent draws with top-four challengers Newcastle and Aston Villa on their own patch.

Wolves should also be stronger against Burnley than they were at the Emirates as Joao Gomes and Lemina are available after suspension, which should help the home side take a grip on proceedings.

Wanderers have suffered just two defeats in their last 14 league home games, so given that Burnley's two victories this season have come against Luton and Sheffield United, the two team who came up with them from the Championship, there has to be reservations about whether the Lancastrians can build on Saturday's win.

A trip to Molineux is a huge test for the Clarets and, desperate though they are to drag themselves out of the bottom three, they may come up short.
