Nick Pope - Two saves for win Pope made two saves and one clearance during Wednesday's 3-2 win over Everton.

Impact Pope saved every shot he faced from open play, only conceding to two Richarlison penalties. The keeper has been in good form of late, holding Manchester City to only two goals, and stopping everything from open play against Everton. Pope will look for a clean sheet Sunday, against a poor Norwich side.

Aaron Lennon - Seven crosses for win Lennon sent in seven inaccurate crosses and created two chances during Wednesday's 3-2 win over Everton.

Impact Lennon lined up on the right side of midfield and was his usually productive self, peppering the box with crosses. That said most of the crosses were harmless, and on a better day he could have had far more than two chances created. Lennon will hope to keep this volume and find some accuracy against Norwich on Sunday.

Matej Vydra - Assists on return Vydra (groin) provided one assist off the bench during Wednesday's 3-2 win over Everton.

Impact Vydra came off the bench to make his return from a long-term groin injury. The forward was absolutely crucial as well, providing the game-winning assist, and wreaking havoc on the Everton back-line. Vydra will hope to move back into the starting XI for a Sunday trip to Norwich.

Charlie Taylor - Assists Wednesday Taylor provided one assist on five crosses and one chance created during Wednesday's 3-2 win over Everton.

Impact Taylor provided an assist on five crosses, though all five of the crosses were relatively poor, and off-target. The wing-back has largely been wasteful of late, even when given a plethora of opportunities, that said the woeful Everton defense is proving to be a cure-all for all out-of-form players. Taylor will have another favorable clash with Norwich up next.

Nathan Collins - First Burnley goal Collins scored once on one shot during Wednesday's 3-2 win over Everton.

Impact Collins scored his first goal for Burnley during Wednesday's 3-2 win. The defender got forward to open the scoring inside the first 20 minutes. It was all-stations on defense after that though, and Collins was kept busy trying to slow Everton down. In the end he did enough for the win and played the full 90 on his return from suspension.

Maxwel Cornet - Nets late winner Cornet scored once on two shots on goal during Wednesday's 3-2 win over Everton.

Impact Cornet scored in the dying embers of Wednesday's match to secure the win and a crucial three points. The winger has been in immaculate form lately, and added an assist in an all-around unstoppable performances. Cornet will hope to keep this form going Sunday, away to Norwich.

Jay Rodriguez - Nets in win Rodriguez scored once on two shots (one on goal) during Wednesday's 3-2 win over Everton.

Impact Rodriguez scored once to equalize during Wednesday's win over Everton. It proved to be a massive goal with Burnley just sneaking in a third to secure all three points. Rodriguez has been relegated to starting most matches on the bench, and unless that changes he has minimal fantasy value.

Matej Vydra - Makes bench against Everton Vydra (groin) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Everton.

Impact Vydra is back in the squad Wednesday after returning to light training over the international break. He hasn't played since January, so it's unknown where he's at fitness wise, but he's at least an option again for Burnley. He has just three starts this season and as long as Maxwel Cornet is healthy, he probably won't get many starts the rest of the way.

Nathan Collins - Available against Everton Collins served a one-match suspension and is available for Wednesday's game against Everton.

Impact Collins makes a quick return after only getting one match following a straight red card. It's a nice boost for Burnley in an almost must-win spot against Everton. Collins will be back in the XI, pushing Kevin Long to the bench again.

Ben Mee - Still without return date Mee (knee) will remain out for Wednesday's match against Everton, according to manager Sean Dyche. "Ben won't be fit yet, he's making progress but he's still got a bit to go."

Impact It sounds like Mee will miss another couple weeks unless he can make a quicker than expected recovery. It's unfortunate but Nathan Collins is available again after a one-match suspension, meaning he'll be back in the XI Wednesday instead of Kevin Long.

Wout Weghorst - Ineffective against Man City Weghorst won one of one tackles in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against Manchester City.

Impact Weghorst and Burnley weren't able to do much going forward Saturday, but this has become a worrying normal for the forward. He has scored just one goal in his 10 Premier League appearances so far, and he hasn't taken more than one shot in a single match since Feb. 13, eight games ago. He needs to become a bigger goal threat if Burnley are to have any chance of avoiding relegation. On Wednesday he will face Everton, which have conceded 47 times in 27 games.

Nick Pope - Concedes two goals against City Pope made four saves but conceded two goals in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against Manchester City.

Impact Pope was beaten by strikes from Kevin De Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan as his side was swept aside by the Premier League leaders on Saturday. Burnley are 19th in the table at the moment but they still have games in-hand on their relegation rivals, beginning with Wednesday's clash against 17th-placed Everton, which have scored 29 goals in 27 matches this season.

Matej Vydra - Begins pitch work Vydra (groin) has begun training on grass but won't be available against Manchester City on Saturday. Manager Sean Dyche told reporters, "Vyds is back on the grass and training."

Impact Considering Vydra has featured in just three of his 16 appearances for the club this season, fantasy players shouldn't be expecting him to suddenly become a mainstay in the starting XI, Without a clear path to move minutes, the forward figures to be a relative non-factor in fantasy contests moving forward.

Ben Mee - Remains shelved Saturday Mee (knee) will not be an option against Manchester City on Saturday. Manager Sean Dyche told reporters, "Ben Mee is making progress but he's not there yet."

Impact Mee will miss his third consecutive contest due to his lingering knee issue. Prior to his absence, the central defender recorded one goal on nine shots (two on target), 46 clearances and 12 interceptions in his previous 10 outings. Once cleared to play, Mee should jump right back into the starting XI but is unlikely to offer more than mid-range fantasy value.
