LB - Hartman

LW - Anthony

ST - Foster

Burnley Team News:

• Burnley revert back to a 4-2-3-1 formation for a game against a team that while excellent in GW1, is not Spurs. This is the system Parker employed all of last season and should be the formation he uses in games he does not feel heavily outmatched in.
• Sonne drops to the bench in order to field another attacker, which will be Marcus Edwards who impressed in pre-season. The alternative option would be Bruun Larsen but I lean Edwards.
• New signing Ugochukwu was further ahead than other new signings in terms of match fitness last week according to Parker and therefore should be ready to start in GW2.
• Mejbri moves central into the nominal 10 role.

Sunderland Team News:

• No changes for Le Bris and Sunderland from the starting lineup that thrashed West Ham 3-0 in GW1.
• Seelt did come off injured in GW1 but appears to be fine and ready to go for GW2, however his place could be under threat from Alderete who got an assist in his 35 minute GW1 cameo and performed better than his counterpart who started the game. However after a 3-0 GW1 win, the likeliest option is Le Bris sticks with the same XI.
