Burnley host Norwich at Turf Moor this afternoon in a meeting of two of the Premier League’s winless sides.

Sean Dyche’s side sit 19th with two points from their opening six games and were denied a first win of the season at Leicester last weekend after Chris Wood’s late header was ruled out for offside.

It took Burnley eight matches to get their first win of the season last term and the Clarets will be desperate to get off the mark against a Norwich side who are on a run of six consecutive defeats top open the campaign.

Daniel Farke has come under criticism following his side’s poor start, which has brought defeats by Watford and Everton in their last two fixtures. The Canaries have the league’s worst defence and worst attack with 16 goals conceded and just two scored so far.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match today.
