James Trafford - First clean sheet of season Trafford made three saves on his way to a clean sheet in Saturday's 5-0 win over Sheffield United.

Impact Trafford has had a tricky start to life in the Premier League as a first choice keeper, conceding 32 goals in 14 games. He will be relieved to have notched his first clean sheet since signing from Manchester City. Burnley now face a run of favourable fixtures, starting with Wolves on Tuesday, and will hope that this positive result can bring about a change in fortune.

Louis Beyer - Won't face Wolverhampton Beyer picked up his fifth yellow card and will be suspended for Tuesday's match at Wolverhampton.

Impact Beyer picked up his first assist of the season against Sheffield United on Saturday, but unfortunately, he also picked up his fifth yellow card, so he will miss the Tuesday clash at Wolverhampton. The absence of Beyer will leave a huge void at the back, but he should be ready to return when the Clarets take on Brighton on Saturday.

Benson Manuel - In contention Tuesday Benson (undisclosed) should be in the mix for the squad against Wolverhampton on Tuesday, per Matt Scrafton of the Burnley Express.

Impact Benson has been out of the squad since Sept. 23 versus Manchester United when he logged just four minutes as a substitute. Even once cleared to play, the forward is far from a lock for the starting XI and more likely will be held in reserve looking ahead to the rest of the campaign.

Jack Cork - Remains sidelined against Wolves Cork (calf) will not be an option versus Wolverhampton on Tuesday, Matt Scrafton of the Burnley Express reports.

Impact Given the short week, Cork should probably be considered a heavy doubt heading into Saturday's matchup with Brighton. Prior to his four-match absence, Cork made just one 16-minute cameo off the bench. As such, the midfielder figures to be a relative non-factor in fantasy contests even once given the all-clear.

Arijanet Muric - Yet to resume training Muric (infection) still isn't training with the squad and is considered a doubt ahead of Tuesday's clash with Wolves, per Matt Scrafton of the Burnley Express.

Impact Muric's potential absence won't have much of an impact on the starting XI or fantasy players considering James Trafford has started all 14 Premier League matches for the club. Still, the busy December schedule could have afforded Muric a chance to start where is not for his infection.

DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Joshua Cullen - Unavailable Tuesday Cullen -- who was sidelined against Sheffield United on Saturday -- will remain on the shelf versus Wolverhampton on Tuesday with an undisclosed injury, Matt Scrafton of the Burnle...

Impact Cullen started each of the club's first 10 matches but has found himself on the outside looking in of late, logging a meager five minutes in his last two inclusions in the squad. Cullen's lack of minutes has also coincided with a shift to a 4-4-2, which means he could continue to struggle for regular appearances even once cleared to return.

Arijanet Muric - Confirmed as out Muric (undisclosed) is not in the squad to face Sheffield United on Saturday.

Impact Muric misses out on Saturday's match after suffering an undisclosed injury in the buildup. The defender has yet to appear for Burnley this season after starting 41 matches in the Championship a year ago.

Jack Cork - Out once more Cork (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's clash with Sheffield United, according to manager Vincent Kompany. " Corky is not going to be ready for this week either,"

Impact Cork won't make his return during Saturday's clash with Sheffield. His absence won't really change much in all reality as Cork has remained little more than a depth option even when fit, and he has been left unselected for three matches in a row now.

Arijanet Muric - Not training Muric hasn't trained ahead of Saturday's clash with Sheffield United, according to manager Vincent Kompany."Aro has not really trained this week, so we'll see."

Impact Muric is a heavy doubt for Saturday's clash, though his absence wouldn't change anything as James Trafford remains the starting option in net. Muric isn't likely to get on the pitch anytime soon barring injury elsewhere.

Johann Gudmundsson - Active display versus West Ham Gudmundsson had one shot on goal, created four chances, sent in five crosses (three accurate) and made two interceptions during Saturday's 2-1 loss against West Ham.

Impact Gudmundsson did what he does best here, using his crossing ability to generate opportunities for teammates and providing some defensive contributions but once again no one was able to capitalize his production into goals for Burnley. After an assist on his season debut, the playmaker did not appear on the scoresheet again. Anyway, he's still one of his team's biggest hopes for upcoming games, including next Saturday's clash against Sheffield United.

James Trafford - Allows two late goals versus Hammers Trafford made two saves and conceded two goals during Saturday's 2-1 loss against West Ham.

Impact Trafford was having a solid performance and looked on verge of finally keeping his first clean sheet of the season. But then Burnley's defensive line failed him again, first with an own goal and then letting Tomas Soucek appearing unmarked in front of him to seal a comeback win with a close-range volley during stoppage time. This was the sixth consecutive EPL game with multiple goals allowed for the goalkeeper so right now he's far from being a good fantasy bet.

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dara O'Shea - Scores own goal versus Hammers O'Shea had two shots (one on target), created one chance and made one tackle, six clearances and one block, but scored an own goal during Saturday's 2-1 loss against West Ham.

Impact O'Shea was a man-of-the-match candidate with a strong performance at the heart of the defense and even being a threat on the attacking end, but then, in the 86th minute, the center-back was very unfortunate when he sent the ball into his own net while trying to block a pass from the right flank intended to a striker inside the six-yard box. That goal drew things level at 1-1 and paved the way for the opposition's come-from-behind win. With 34 clearances over his last five starts, O'Shea will try to bounce back during next Saturday's clash against Sheffield United.

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jay Rodriguez - Converts PK versus Hammers Rodriguez scored a penalty goal, created one chance and made four tackles (two won) during Saturday's 2-1 loss against West Ham.

Impact Rodriguez made his third consecutive start and, despite not being as active as he was on the previous two, he finally scored his first goal of the season from the penalty spot to give his side the lead early in the second half. The striker couldn't produce much more than that, though, and saw the opposition coming from behind in the closing stages of the match to win all three points. Anyway, Rodriguez will hope the end of his scoring drought is a sign of better things to come and try to keep adding to his account during next Saturday's clash against Sheffield United.

Hjalmar Ekdal - Available for EPL debut Ekdal (knee) is in the squad to face West Ham on Saturday.

Impact Ekdal returns from a knee injury which has kept him out of the entire season to this point. The defender is available for his EPL debut having made nine appearances in the Championship last season.
