Burnley XI vs Nottingham Forest – Predicted lineup and team news Burnley travel to the City Ground today knowing only a victory can revive their fading Premier League survival hopes. The Clarets sit 19th in the table with just 20 points from 32 matches. Scott Parker’s side has struggled significantly, losing 44 of their last 70 Premier League games.
They are currently on a seven-match winless run as the season enters its final stages. Consequently, Burnley must find a way to improve their league-worst defensive record today. Burnley have faced more shots and more big chances than any other top-flight side.
They have also allowed the most touches in their own penalty area this campaign. Their away form is equally poor, collecting just nine points on their travels so far. Furthermore, they have won just two of their last 21 away league visits to Forest.
Parker remains searching for a tactical formula that provides better defensive stability. Burnley team news Scott Parker receives a timely boost with the return of an influential midfield figure. Josh Laurent is back in contention after serving a one-match suspension last weekend.
