Burnley could extend their lead at the top of the Championship table when they welcome Rotherham to Turf Moor.

Vincent Kompany’s men are currently two points clear of second-place Blackburn, who were beaten by Coventry last night.

The Clarets have won four of their last five matches following Saturday’s dramatic comeback against Reading.

Team news

Jack Cork could return to the Burnley midfield after missing Saturday's win through suspension.

Josh Cullen was also absent due to injury, with Samuel Bastien starting against the Royals in his absence.

Josh Brownhill and Taylor Harwood-Bellis are both one booking away from a suspension ahead of Saturday’s trip to third-place Sheffield United.

As for the visitors, Grant Hall is back available and Chiedozie Ogbene could return to the squad after recovering from a hamstring problem.

Opposition lowdown

Rotherham are currently 13th in the Championship table as they aim to build on last season’s promotion from League One.

The Millers suffered a 1-0 defeat at Cardiff City in their last outing, with Jaden Philogene getting the decisive goal midway through the second half.

Matt Taylor took charge at the New York Stadium last month, succeeding Paul Warne who left his position to join Derby County.

Head-to-head

Burnley have faced Rotherham 40 times in their history, with a record of 13 wins, 14 draws and 13 defeats.

The Clarets recorded a 2-0 victory when the sides last met back in February 2016 thanks to goals from Sam Vokes and Scott Arfield.

They are unbeaten in their last four games against the Millers, with their last defeat in the fixture coming in May 2004.
