Team news
Burnley
The Clarets will be at near full-strength, with the only concern defender Ben Mee, who recently sustained a thigh strain.
Winger Ross Wallace, missing since August with a knee injury, could return to first team duty.
New signing Ashley Barnes is set to feature on the bench.
Owls
Wednesday will welcome back Connor Wickham after the in-form striker sat out the FA Cup win over Macclesfield on Tuesday under the terms of his loan agreement with Sunderland.
Caolan Lavery – on target twice against Leeds last weekend – is also available having missed the cup-tie due to eligibility rules.
Elsewhere, Chris Kirkland is set to resume between the sticks after Damian Martinez played in midweek.

One to watch – Danny Ings
The Clarets’ striker has led the line superbly this season with sidekick Sam Vokes, with the duo sharing 33 Championship goals so far.
Ings is enjoying a particularly fruitful campaign having struck 21 times in all competitions, including four in his last three outings.
The former Bournemouth man is yet to go more than two games without a goal this season.
