James Trafford - Logs double-digit saves in draw Trafford made 10 saves and conceded one goal during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Brighton.

Impact Trafford had arguably one of the best performances of his career, making double-digit saves for the first time in EPL and was the biggest reason why his side kept Brighton scoreless for so much time despite their intense pressure throughout the contest. With 60 saves over 16 start so far this season, the youngster is ranked fourth among all goalkeepers in stops made and this can be just the beginning for the youngster.

Jay Rodriguez - Logs assist versus Brighton Rodriiguez made an assist, had two shots (one on target) and created one chance during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Brighton.

Impact Rodriguez bounced back from the quiet performance on the previous match, assisting Wilson Odobert for the opening goal just before halftime. That's now two goals and one assist over the last four games for the striker, who's apparently locked up as a starter for the upcoming matchups.

Wilson Odobert - Scores versus Brighton Odobert scored a goal off two shots (one on target) and was shown a yellow card during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Brighton.

Impact Odobert had his first start in more than a month and made most of the new opportunity as he opened the scoring for Burnley just before halftime with a shot that still had a little help from a deflection that made life tougher for the goalkeeper. This was the second goal of the season for the youngster, who will hope to remain in the lineup for next Saturday's clash against Everton.

Aaron Ramsey - Appears to be injured again Ramsey was taken off the pitch in the 79th minute after only 21 minutes of play in Saturday's match against Brighton with an apparent injury.

Impact Ramsey came onto the field in the 58th minute as a substitute but was taken off only 21 minutes later due to an injury. The club has yet to drop any announcements on the knock describing where it is in particular or how serious it is, but they will hope it is only minor after the player just returned from an injury about a month ago. The midfielder has only started twice all season, so regardless of the player's timeline, it shouldn't affect the squad too much.

Charlie Taylor - Picks up suspension Taylor will not be an option Saturday against Everton, picking up a suspension after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season against Brighton.

Impact Taylor will be missing his first match since the start of September, receiving a one-match ban due to yellow card accumulation. The defender's absence will affect the squad, with him not missing a start in 13 straight contests. Expect Connor Roberts to get the start at left-back with Taylor out.

Lyle Foster - Progressing well Foster has been improving his mental health and could see a return to the team soon, according to manager Vincent Kompany per the BBC. "He is making good progress and every detail...

Impact Foster has been taking time to focus on his mental health, having been away from the team since Oct 28. He had three goals and two assists in seven appearance, all of them coming as starts. If all goes well in his progression, the forward could be back on the start for the start of the new year.

Luca Koleosho - Knee injury confirmed Koleosho suffered a knee injury against the Wolves on Tuesday and is set to be sidelines for the time being, confirmed manager Vincent Kompany. "It's bad news for us, he's going to...

Impact Koleosho had been doing a fine job during his first season in the Premier League, totaling a goal and an assist on 23 shots (five on target) and 23 crosses (two accurate) in that span. He is expected to remain out ultil the start of the new year, at minimum. During his absence, both Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Jacob Bruun Larsen will likely be in line for more playing time in the midfield for Burnley.

Zeki Amdouni - Places shot-on-target in loss Zeki Amdouni generated two shots (one on goal), one cross (not accurate) and created a chance in Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Wolverhampton.

Impact Amdouni did not make a major impact on Tuesday's game, but he did manage to place one of Burnley's three shots-on-target. The Swiss striker is not having a great season, he produced a goal and an assist in Burnley's 5-0 hammering of Sheffield in their last game but that aside he has only found the net once from 14 starts.

Josh Brownhill - A constant threat in loss at Molineux Brownhill recorded two shots (one on goal) in Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Wolverhampton. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 2nd minute.

Impact Brownhill was a constant threat on Tuesday as he played in his usual attacking midfield role. He came closest to getting Burnley on the scoresheet with an effort that was agilely tipped around the post by Dan Bentley. His strong contribution to the match is a continuation of his current excellent form, he has scored twice in his last four matches. To date has made 14 appearances (11 starts) and found the net three times.

James Trafford - Concedes one in loss at Molineux Trafford made three saves and allowed one goal in Tuesday's 1-0 defeat against Wolverhampton.

Impact Trafford saved three of the four shots he faced on-target Tuesday, one being a fantastic effort to deny an attempt by Pablo Sarabia. The regular starting 21-year-old has saved 50 (33 per game, 60 percent), conceded 33 (2.2 per game) and delivered just one clean sheet. He will not likely improve that statistic in Burnley's next against Brighton. The Seagulls have scored in each of their last 12 matches.

Louis Beyer - Set for return Beyer is eligible for selection for Saturday's trip to Brighton after serving a one-match ban.

Impact Beyer missed the 1-0 loss to Wolves due to the suspension but is now eligible to return. The defender should be straight back into the starting XI, with his return more likely than not sending Hjalmar Ekdal back to the bench.

DECEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Luca Koleosho - Limps off Tuesday Koleosho came off limping during Tuesday's clash with Wolves.

Impact Koleosho made it 36 minutes before a lower leg injury saw him come off. The forward was replaced by Johann Berg Gudmundsson who could be in line for a significant role moving forward. Koleosho could miss multiple matches if he's out for even a week due to the rapid-fire nature of the December Premier League schedule.

DECEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Arijanet Muric - On bench Tuesday Muric (infection) is on the bench for Tuesday's contest against Wolves.

Impact Muric is making the team sheet for the first time this season, finally recovering from an infection. The goalie most likely won't see much time on the playing field despite being healthy, with James Trafford having a sturdy grasp over the starting role in net.

DECEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Benson Manuel - Out against Wolves Benson (undisclosed) is out for Tuesday's match against Wolves.

Impact Benson is still not an option for Burnely, missing his ninth straight match due to an undisclosed injury. Once the forward does return, he most likely won't see much playing time as is, being more of a reserve, notching only 65 minutes of play in his three appearances when healthy.

DECEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Charlie Taylor - Assists in victory Taylor registered an assist and sent in two crosses (one accurate) in Saturday's 5-0 win against Sheffield United.

Impact Taylor picked up his first assist of the season when his cross was headed in by Jay Rodriguez. He has one goal so far this season and looks the most likely of Burnley's defenders to pick up attacking returns.

DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dara O'Shea - Registers assist O'Shea picked up an assist in Saturday's 5-0 win over Sheffield United.

Impact O'Shea picked up his second assist of the season with a brilliant long ball to play in Jacob Bruun Larsen for the second. He has created five chances this season, an impressive total for a centre-back.

DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Josh Brownhill - Scores in big win Brownhill scored once from two shots (both on target) in Saturday's 5-0 win against Sheffield United.

Impact Brownhill scored with a brilliant long-range drive and has now scored two in his last three. The fact that the central midfielder is Burnley's joint-top scorer with three may go some way to explaining why they find themselves struggling in the bottom three.

DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jay Rodriguez - Nets inside sixteen seconds Rodriguez scored once from two shots (one on target) in Saturday's 5-0 win over Sheffield United.

Impact Rodriguez scored the 15th fastest goal in Premier League history when his glancing header found the far corner. He now has two in two following on from his penalty goal against West Ham. The attacker had to settle for a place on the bench at the start of the season, but he started each of the last four.

DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Luca Koleosho - Scores first Burnley goal Koleosho scored once from three shots (one on target) and attempted three crosses in Saturday's 5-0 victory over Sheffield United.

Impact Koleosho had earlier missed a sitter, hitting the post with a close-range rebound, but showed good resilience to take the next chance that came his way. He will be relieved to have gotten off the mark in the Premier League and will hope to add to his tally as Burnley embark on a run of favourable fixtures.

DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jacob Bruun Larsen - Scores on first Burnley start Larsen scored once from four shots (one on target), took four corners and created three chances in Saturday's 5-0 hammering of Sheffield United.

Impact Larsen looked bright on his first Premier League start for Burnley, scoring with a calm finish and attempting more shots than anyone else on the pitch. The winger has had to settle for minutes from the bench since signing on loan from Hoffenheim but will hope that he has done enough to earn some more starts as we head in to the busy festive period.

DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Zeki Amdouni - Scores and assists Amdouni scored once from two shots (both on target) and registered one assist from two chances created in Saturday's 5-0 victory over Sheffield United.

Impact Amdouni scored and assisted in the space of two minutes, netting with a composed finish before setting up Luca Koleosho. The striker now has three attacking returns this season (two goals and one assist). He ranks first for shots on target (11) among his teammates, more than double the amount of his nearest challengers, but he is yet to complete a full 90 minutes this season.
