Burnley v Wolves match preview

Burnley host Wolves at Turf Moor this evening as the two recently relegated sides hope to pick up three points.
The Clarets go into the clash unbeaten in their last three, having drawn two of those fixtures. Nicky Hayen's side has won just one of their league games this season, which was a 4-0 victory against Watford.
Wolves will be hoping to pick up three points tonight to climb into the play-off spots, ahead of Saturday's fixtures. Cesar Peixoto's side has lost both of their last two games, against Middlesbrough and Bolton Wanderers.
Wolves have hit a bump in the road, having just two wins from thier last seven across all competitions.
The last time the two sides met saw the game end 1-1, in matchday 38 of the Premier League season last season.
Half of Burnley's points this season (4) have come at home, while half of Wolves' points (7) have come on the road.
Burnley will be hoping to have turned a corner in their form, and put together an unbeaten run to push the side up the table. The Clarets sit one spot above the relegation zone as things stand, above Watford on goal difference.
Had the side not conceded a 96th-minute equaliser in midweek, then the side would be two clear of the drop zone.
For Wolves, they travel to Turf Moor hoping to get back to winning ways. Raul Jimenez is ruled out due to injury, and his absence will be a huge blow for the team.
The club's top scorer in the Championship this season, Fer López (4 goals), will be hoping to score his first goal in three games.
