Burnley: 3 Key Players to Watch
1. Josh Cullen (Midfielder): Cullen played an important role in Burnley’s 2-0 win against Sunderland, scoring the opening goal with a clinical finish and helping manage the midfield. Cullen’s ability to disrupt the opposition while linking play between defence and attack will be an important factor against Derby County.
2. Jaidon Anthony (Winger): Anthony scored Burnley’s second goal against Sunderland, and his pace and dribbling ability produced attacking options for Burnley throughout the match. His absurd pace, pinpoint dribbling, and sharp finishing make him a dangerous weapon out wide.
3. Martin Dubravka (Goalkeeper): Dubravka made sure Burnley secured a clean sheet in their win against Sunderland, and he made key saves while adding stability to the defence. His experience while playing against the danger that is Derby’s attacking players will prove to be important.
Derby County: 3 Key Players to Watch
1. Carlton Morris (Forward): Morris scored in Derby County’s draw with Bristol City (1-1). He showed his finishing ability and positioning. Morris will need to be at his best, as Derby will rely on him to lead the line against Burnley.
2. Jason Knight (Midfielder): Knight was able to take control of Derby’s midfield against Bristol City. He did a great job also of breaking up play and linking defence to attack. His work rate and positional awareness will make him a player to watch out for.
3. Max Bird (Midfielder): Bird’s calmness on the ball and passing range were important components in Derby’s build-up play against Bristol City. His ability to dictate the tempo of a game will be important when facing Burnley’s midfield.

Burnley will want to continue their home form after a solid 2-0 victory over Sunderland. Derby County came into this match off the back of a 1-1 draw with Bristol City, showing their resilience but struggling with their away form. It’s set to be an attacking game, with any outcome being likely in terms of both teams finding the back of the net. But given Burnley’s historical dominance over Derby and overall form, Burnley are expected to win.
