A WIN against Middlesbrough this afternoon could be enough for Burnley to secure automatic promotion to the Premier League.

The Clarets, who are 11 points clear in second place, would require Derby County to drop points at home to Huddersfield Town to make certain of top flight football today.

Kieran Trippier returns to the side after a hamstring injury, replacing Chris Baird at right back.

It is the only change to the side which beat Barnsley in midweek.

Fit-again Junior Stanislas is named on the bench.

Middlesbrough arrive at Turf Moor in form having won their last three games, but their defence has been hit by injuries and suspension.
