EPL Preview: Swansea vs Burnley Prediction (23/Aug - 22:00)

Probable Lineups

 Team News

Swansea

• Swansea confirmed the signing of centre-back Federico Fernandez on Wednesday, but he is unlikely to start the meeting with Burnley.
• Garry Monk is without only Leon Britton and Marvin Emnes due to injury.
• The Swans may name an unchanged XI from their opening day win at Manchester United.

 Burnley

• Sam Vokes remains sidelined with a knee injury and he is expected to miss a substantial chunk of the season.
• Despite an underwhelming performance against Chelsea, summer signing Lucas Jutkiewicz should lead the attack here.
• Sean Dyche may be tempted to name an unchanged XI from the defeat against Chelsea.

Prediction

• Swansea secured an inspring 2-1 win over Manchester United on the opening day of the season. Many expected the Swans to falter this season, but they have hit the ground running and if they can hold onto their key players, they could be in for a notable campaign.
• Burnley put in a good account of themselves against Chelsea on Monday, but the gulf in quality between the Clarets and the title favourites was evident. Sean Dyche will look to convince his players that the season starts now as they aim to avoid relegation at the first time of asking.
• Garry Monk's side will be in buoyant mood following the surprise victory at Old Trafford and should have enough about them to pick up another 3 points here.
