The EFL Championship returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Plymouth Argyle and Burnley square off at Home Park on Wednesday. Scott Parker’s men head into the weekend unbeaten in their last four games against the hosts and will be looking to extend their recent dominance in this fixture.
Plymouth Argyle continued to struggle for results at the wrong end of the Championship table as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Queens Park Rangers last Saturday.
The Pilgrims have now failed to taste victory in 13 straight league games, losing seven and claiming six draws — a run that has seen them plunge to the bottom of the standings.
Plymouth's underwhelming campaign has been in no small part due to their defensive vulnerability as they have conceded 55 goals in their 27 matches, 10 more than any other side in the division.

On the other hand, Burnley held their own last Friday when they played out a goalless draw against fellow title-chasers Sunderland at Turf Moor.
Parker’s side have now gone 15 consecutive games without defeat across all competitions, claiming nine wins and six draws since November’s 1-0 loss against Millwall.
With 53 points from 27 matches, Burnley are currently third in the Championship standings, three points adrift of league leaders Leeds United.
