SIMPLE_SELECTION While chances are going to be hard to come by for the away side here, Gelhardt is averaging just shy of 2.0 shots per game and we reckon he’ll get at least one on target against Arijanet Muric between the Burnley sticks. As per usual they’re going to have the lion’s share of possession here and goal-scoring threats meaning we should again see them getting at least six corners. In such scintillating form we simply have to back him to add to his tally. Sunderland aren’t in great shape but they are, at least, scoring goals. The Clarets have scored a whopping 74 goals in the Championship this season with 43 of them coming at Turf Moor where they’ve also only conceded 13. With Burnley in such good form we’re likely looking at another 3-0 or 2-1 win here so we’re backing seeing at least three goals. It can be tough to find value in such a one-sided affair but fear not, we’ve done all the heavy lifting for you and found a five-legged Bet Builder.

Benson Manuel (Burnley) left footed shot from the centre of the box is blocked. Attempt missed. Attempt blocked. Post update If we can add the right players at the top end of the pitch in the summer, we'll be a threat to every team." It was a chance for them to see if they can compete at this level, because Burnley are going to be in the Premier League. "The work ethic was amazing. These are the games you play for and we're looking forward to them." We have two big games coming up against Middlesbrough and Sheffield United. We were lucky not to concede because we were sloppy on the ball and invited them on. We didn't always find the best solutions for it but we still got out and had our chances. Sunderland defended well and had their moments.
