Burnley will look to bounce back from their disappointing opening week defeat when they host Sunderland in their next Premier League match on Saturday.

It was far from an ideal return to the top division for Burnley, as Scott Parker's side were convincingly defeated 3-0 by Tottenham.

On the other hand, Sunderland made a statement in their first Premier League match since 2017, with a 3-0 win over West Ham.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Burnley vs. Sunderland team news, predicted lineups

Burnley will continue to miss players Bashir Humphreys, Connor Roberts, Zeki Amdouni, Jordan Beyer and Mike Tresor due to injury concerns. 

The Clarets are still expected to line up the same way they did against Spurs, with Martin Dubravka in goal and Kyle Walker leading the defense with Oliver Sonne and Quilindschy Hartman providing width as wingbacks. 

Josh Cullen will be the anchor in midfield while Lyle Foster is expected to lead the line in Armando Broja's absence. The former Chelsea man will probably start from the bench.

Burnley predicted XI (5-3-2, right to left): Dubravka (GK) — Sonne, Walker, Ekdal, Esteve, Hartman — Mejbri, Laurent, Cullen — Anthony, Foster

Injured: Humphreys (thigh), Amdouni (knee), Beyer (knee), Tuanzebe (muscular), Flemming (muscular), Tresor (unknown)
Suspended: None

Sunderland will also miss some key personnel for this fixture as players like Romaine Mundle, Dennis Cirkin, Ajia Alese, Leo Hjelde and Luke O'Nien are sidelined with injuries. 

However, Regis Le Bris will look to inspire his team as they aim to build on last week's win. Robin Roefs is expected to start in goal with Daniel Ballard and fit-again Jenson Seelt leading the backline. New signing Nordi Mukiele could be present on the bench. 

In midfield, Granit Xhaka will hold fort with Habib Diarra and Noah Sadiki, who were exceptional against the Hammers last week. 

Goal-scorer Eliezer Mayenda is expected to lead the lines with Chemsdine Talbi and Simon Adingra providing width on either flank. 

Sunderland predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Roefs (GK) — Hume, Ballard, Seelt, Mandava — Sadiki, Xhaka, Diarra — Talbi, Mayenda, Adingra

Injured: Mundle (thigh), Cirkin (hand), O'Nien (shoulder), Masuaku (unknown), Alese (shoulder), Hjelde (Achilles)
Suspended: None.
