Burnley predicted XI to face Cardiff City as 27-year-old dropped

How Burnley are predicted to line up against Cardiff

Fabio Celestini faces a stick or twist dilemma when his Burnley side travels to Cardiff City this weekend.

The new Clarets boss named an unchanged line-up in midweek as they played out a 1-1 draw with QPR at Loftus Road.

But heading into the third game of the week, Celestini may be forced into making the odd change or two to keep things fresh.

Here’s how Burnley are predicted to line up:

Celestini has a decision to make after Coudert's error at QPR in midweek, but I'd expect him to stick by the Frenchman.

The experienced defender has been more solid in recent games after a blip towards the end of Nicky Hayen's reign.

The Swedish international was arguably Burnley's best performer at QPR and continues to keep Anel Ahmedhodzic out of the side.

The centre-back hasn't been quite as solid or as dominant as he was earlier in the season, but you'd expect him to keep his spot.

Pires has arguably been Burnley's best player this season, certainly the most consistent since coming back into the side.

Josh Cullen probably isn't ready yet to play a big chunk of minutes, but Ugo Raghouber is waiting in the wings if Celestini wants to make a change in midfield.

Always busy and always keeps the ball ticking over, but you feel there's still more to come. Needs to start affecting games.

Despite the winger's goal at QPR, Ramazani still wasn't at his best. But he is one this season that can be relied upon for a goal or an assist.

Following Edwards' struggles against QPR, where he was hooked off early, don't be surprised if Banel gets a first start of the season.

Assuming Zeki Amdouni isn't fully fit to start, you'd imagine Hountondji will continue to keep the shirt.

He's been pretty quiet in front of goal, with just one goal to his name, but the service hasn't exactly been there either. Not like he's missing chances.
