The Burnley comes to this game with a triumph, by 1-3, in the displacement to the land of the Bournemouth, adding of this form the second victory followed in this competition: the goals of the team were marked by Chris Wood, Barnes and Westwood. Coach Sean Dyche usually acts in a 4-4-2, favoring a more leisurely style of play, attacking through the central corridor. The two arrows pointing to the opponent’s goal will be Chris Wood and Barnes, with Hendrick responsible for defining and leading the offensive attacks of his team. For this game the coach can not count on Lennon, Bardsley and Defour, all with physical problems.

In their away league matches the most frequent result at half-time was the 0-0 (7 out of 17 matches). The team allowed goals to the opponent in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition, so it was not very strong defensively. This is a team that usually scores a few times first: it only opened the scoring in 7 of its last 32 matches for the Premier League, of these 7 it reached the break in advantage in 2 and won at the end of the 90 ‘in 5.

The Cardiff City enters this match after a rebuff, by 2-0, in the displacement to the land of Manchester City, continuing in huge difficulties in this championship. We remember that the visitors occupy the zone of descent and not even with a victory will leave that position. Unlike the rival of this round, the visiting team opts to act in a traditional 4-3-3, in which the three most advanced players are Hoillett, Murphy and Niasse. Despite playing away from home, we believe that Cardiff City will adopt a more offensive stance, since it needs to add all three points. The technician Neil Warnock can not count on Bamba, Connolly and Paterson, to be injured.
