    Burnley host Watford tonight in the Premier League at Turf Moor.

    Sean Dyche’s team have not had the best of restarts to the season, losing heavily against Manchester City and being unable to agree contract extensions with a clutch of senior players.

    They are 11th in the table though and can simply use the rest of this term to build and plan for 2020/21.

    When is it and what time is kick-off?

    The match will begin at 6pm on Thursday, 25 June at Turf Moor.

    The match will be broadcast live on Sky One, Sky Sports Premier League, Sky Sports Action and Pick.

    What is the team news?

    Burnley have confirmed that Aaron Lennon, Joe Hart and Jeff Hendrick will leave the club at the end of the month so they will not be involved. Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood are both battling back to full fitness.

    Watford are missing long-term injury absentee Gerard Deulofeu, as well as Isaac Success and Daryl Janmaat.

    Predicted line-ups

    Burnley: Pope; Bardsley, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor; Brownhill, Westwood, Cork, McNeil; Vydra, Rodriguez.

    Watford: Foster; Femenia, Kabasele, Dawson, Masina; Capoue, Hughes; Sarr, Doucoure, Pereyra; Deeney.

    What are the odds?

    Burnley – 9/4

    Draw – 9/4

    Watford – 16/11

    Prediction

    Burnley lacked their usual work rate and organisation against Man City, while off-field matters may have affected them too. Sean Dyche usually demands a big response to poor performances.

    Watford are desperate to keep clocking up points but may be reluctant to go all-out for a win here with games against relegation rivals Norwich and West Ham still ahead.
