One match ban enabled

Burnley's Johann Berg Gudmundsson is a fitness doubt after suffering a calf injury while playing for Iceland.

The club's other international players all returned unscathed, leaving Steven Defour and Aaron Lennon as their only certain absentees.

Wolves will be without defender Ryan Bennett, who serves the final game of a two-match suspension, so Romain Saiss will once again deputise.

Bennett is the only player unavailable to head coach Nuno Espirito Santo.

MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES

@Wilsonfooty: Sean Dyche's 300th match as Burnley manager sees him attempting to end a run of four consecutive defeats which has plunged the Clarets right back into relegation danger - just as it seemed an eight-game unbeaten sequence had pulled them to relative safety.

The 18 points they earned in that purple patch from December to February may yet prove key - but Cardiff's visit to Turf Moor on 13 April will be underlined in red in Dyche's diary.

Wolves are hoping they might qualify for the Europa League by virtue of either winning the FA Cup or by finishing seventh and having Manchester City lift the Cup.

Wolves' season has been nothing short of spectacular; they are on course to finish higher than any newly-promoted team in the top flight since Sunderland in 2000.

VIEW FROM THE DUGOUT

Burnley manager Sean Dyche: "It's easy to forget we only had 12 points after 19 games. We've now got 30, so that's a pretty healthy return. Now we've got to continue to build on that.

"Since Christmas the actual form has been good. The last run has been tough, obviously. But if you mix that altogether, you'd certainly take the return in points. But we've got to get more."

Wolves head coach Nuno Espirito Santo: "Burnley are a very good team at home: physical, aggressive, well organised. I expect a tough game between two teams who compete well.

"I can only focus on myself and the players, the things we want to do. But we realise how difficult it is going to be. We have to be switched on."
