Strategic Insights

— 1 min read

Burnley head coach Scott Parker has stated his intentions to record back-to-back Premier League victories against Wolves at Molineux. This would be the Clarets' first away win of the season. Wolves, on the other hand, are struggling under the management of Vitor Pereira, having taken just two points from their first eight games.

Parker has opted to stick with Jacob Bruun Larsen on the right wing, despite Loum Tchaouna's goal-scoring performance against Leeds last week. Lyle Foster returns from injury to take Ashley Barnes' place on the bench. The Clarets will be looking to improve on their previous away performances, where they have been beaten by Tottenham, Manchester United, Manchester City, and Aston Villa.

Key Takeaways:

  • Burnley aim to record their first away win of the season against Wolves, having lost to Manchester United, Manchester City, and Aston Villa in previous away matches.
  • Vitor Pereira is under pressure after taking only two points from Wolves' first eight games of the season.
  • Scott Parker has kept faith with the starting lineup that beat Leeds last week, choosing Jacob Bruun Larsen over Loum Tchaouna.
  • Lyle Foster returns from injury to take Ashley Barnes' place on the bench for Burnley.
