Bournemouth, meanwhile, are struggling themselves as they are winless in their last six games across competitions, losing three and drawing three. They were eliminated from the FA Cu in the fifth round by Leicester City in their last game.

The Cherries are 14th in the Premier League standings and will need to avoid further slip-ups to avoid getting dragged into the relegation battle.

Burnley have been poor throughout the season and have shown no signs of improvement. They lost 3-0 against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park and were outplayed by new manager Oliver Glasner’s side.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth had a good patch in November and December but have largely failed to stitch together results this season. They also have some key players missing. They lost 1-0 against Leicester City in extra time in the FA Cup in their last game in midweek.

Hence, fatigue could perhaps play a part when they face Burnley.

Predicted Score: Burnley 1-1 Bournemouth
