Burnley will host Norwich City at Turf Moor on Friday in the 42nd round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The hosts will be keen to get a result to potentially restore their place at the top of the league table.
Burnley’s goalless draw against Derby County on Tuesday took their unbeaten league run, which started in November, to 28 games but also saw them fall to second place, tied on points with leaders Leeds United and only two points clear of Sheffield United in third place. The hosts have been solid all season but will need to be at their best in the final weeks of the season to ensure they achieve automatic promotion.
Trending
Norwich City also featured in a goalless draw during the week when they hosted Sunderland and now sit 11th in the table, tied on points with 13th-placed Sheffield Wednesday with five games to go. The visitors, who have won only two of their last 11 games, remain hopeful of making the promotion playoffs, being only seven points off the top six, but will need to pick up points in their next couple of games to keep that hope alive.
