Nick Pope - Out against Man United Pope is not in the squad for Thursday's match against Manchester United for an undisclosed reason.

Impact Burnley haven't played since Dec. 12 and now Pope is out for their first match back, so it's possible he tested positive for COVID-19 recently. Wayne Hennessey is in the XI in his place and has a tough task of facing Cristiano Ronaldo and company away from home.

Connor Roberts - Returning from illness Roberts is "still coming out of a nasty infection" ahead of the holiday fixtures, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact Roberts seems to have some kind of illness that was worse than COVID-19, which isn't what you want. He's battled a couple injuries since joining Burnley, but if he can get back to health in the next week, there's a chance he'll steal some playing time given the fixture overload.

Dale Stephens - Good to go Stephens (COVID-19) is back in training and will be an option going forward, confirmed manager Sean Dyche.

Impact Stephens has yet to appear this season that trend will probably continue unless Burnley are desperate. The former Brighton man is far down the depth chart and is unlikely to see significant playing time this season.

Maxwel Cornet - Late test for Boxing Day Cornet (thigh) is a "maybe" for the Boxing Day match against Everton, confirmed manager Sean Dyche. "Maxwel is on the grass, he's a maybe but he's had a muscle injury and Covid in...

Impact It looks like Cornet contracted COVID-19 in the past couple weeks which is why he's not fit. He was a late-fitness test two weeks ago, so he's probably back from injury but a lack of training means he's maybe not fit enough to start, possibly meaning another start for Matej Vydra up front.

Maxwel Cornet - Remains touch and go Cornet (thigh) will be touch and go for Saturday's trip to Aston Villa, confirmed manager Sean Dyche.

Impact While Cornet had the same status for the midweek match that didn't happen, he's dealing with a muscle injury and nothing is guaranteed. If he can get another day of full training in, he could be in play to start, but even if that's the case, it's hard to see him going a full 90 against Villa.

Dwight McNeil - Match suspended against Watford McNeil and Burnley will not play Wednesday after their match was suspended against Watford because of COVID-19 concerns.

Impact This is a last-minute decision from the Premier League, as lineups were set to come out in about an hour. It's the second postponement of the midweek matches and it seems like more are inevitable. The good news for McNeil is that Watford seem to be the team with COVID-19 concerns.

Maxwel Cornet - Facing late-fitness test Cornet (thigh) will be a game-time decision against Watford on Wednesday after manager Sean Dyche told reporters, "It's touch and go with Maxwel, we will have to wait on that one a...

Impact If Cornet can't go Wednesday, it sounds like he should be a near-lock to rejoin the squad versus Aston Villa on Saturday. The manager could ease him back into action with a substitute appearance versus Watford. Whenever the forward does get back into the starting XI, he figures to offer top-half fantasy value considering he has recorded four goals on eight shots (six on target), nine crosses (three accurate) and five corners in his previous six contests.

West Ham held to 0-0 draw by Burnley in Premier League

West Ham’s Champions League ambitions were dealt a blow after David Moyes’ team was held to a 0-0 draw at relegation-threatened Burnley in the Premier League

DECEMBER 12, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Nick Pope - Earns draw Pope made three saves and two clearances during Sunday's 0-0 draw with West Ham.

Impact Pope stopped all three of the shots he faced Sunday and earned his third clean sheet of the season. Pope has been a consistently usable midfield option and is worth considering against Watford next time out.

DECEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Matthew Lowton - Busy in draw Lowton sent in five crosses, and made one tackle, interception, and clearance during Sunday's scoreless draw with West Ham.

Impact Lowton was busy all game down the right-flank, putting together his best fantasy day in over a month. The defender isn't much of a fantasy option in general, and with the poor finishing in front of him he's hard to reccomend.

DECEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ashley Westwood - Busy in draw Westwood sent in five crosses and created one chance during Sunday's scoreless draw with West Ham.

Impact Westwood had plenty of crossing chances and looked set to break the deadlock, but just couldn't find a way to get the ball to Jay Rodriguez up top. The midfielder has been a consistent safe floor fantasy option, but hasn't had the end product fantasy managers would hope for, with only three assists through 13 games.

DECEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Dwight McNeil - Nine crosses in draw McNeil sent in nine crosses (one accurate), creating two chances during Sunday's 0-0 draw with West Ham.

Impact McNeil did well for fantasy managers, and kept his consistent duty on set-pieces, but failed to break the deadlock. The winger has been the best fantasy option in Burnley this season, but hasn't had the final output needed. He has only a single assist through 16 games, well off pace for his two goals and five assists from 2019/20.

DECEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jay Rodriguez - Three shots in draw Rodriguez shot three times off goal during Sunday's scoreless draw with West Ham.

Impact Rodriguez had his chances Sunday, but failed to convert on them during Sunday's draw. The forward looked to be off his game Sunday and failed to even put a shot on goal. The forward has a chance to bounce back Wednesday, against Watford, who have been poor defensively.

DECEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Phil Bardsley - Makes bench Sunday Bardsley is in the match day squad to face West Ham on Sunday.

Impact Bardsley was a doubt in the buildup to the match after picking up a knock. The defender starts from the bench but is available if called upon from the bench.
