Burnley host Watford at Turf Moor in round 32 of the Championship on Tuesday (February 14). While Vincent Kompany’s side are firing on all cylinders, the Hornet head into the game winless in four games. Burnley made light work of Preston North End in a comfortable 3-0 win on Saturday.
Kompany’s side have now won ten consecutive league games, scoring 24 goals and keeping seven clean sheets since the first week of November. With 68 points from 30 games, Burnley are atop the Championship and have a seven-point cushion over second-placed Sheffield United.
Meanwhile, Watford failed to return to winning ways, as they played out a 1-1 draw with Blackburn Rovers. The Hornets have now failed to win their last four league games, drawing thrice since a 2-0 win over Blackpool on January 14. With 46 points from 31 games, Watford are sixth in the points table, one point above seventh-placed Sunderland outside the playoff spot.

Burnley vs Watford Team News
Burnley remain without several key men due to injuries, as centre-back Taylor Harwood-Bellis, winger Manuel Benson and striker Jay Rodriguez are all confined to the treatment room, although Vincent Kompany does have plenty of depth throughout his squad and Ashley Barnes and January signings Michael Obafemi and Lyle Foster will likely battle to lead the line in Rodriguez’s absence.
Elsewhere, Nathan Tella is their man in form, with the Southampton loanee having hit five goals in his last two games to take his tally to 14 for the season including 12 in the Championship, and he should again take one of the wide spots with the likes of Anass Zaroury, Vitinho, Scott Twine and Johann Berg Gudmundsson also vying to feature in the attacking line.
Josh Cullen and Josh Brownhill could again be given the nod over Jack Cork in the engine room, while Jordan Beyer and January signing Hjalmar Ekdal could continue their partnership in the middle of the back four in Harwood-Bellis’s continued absence.

Once again on home turf and with the visitors lacking any momentum, we can only envisage another dominant display from the Clarets on Tuesday, with Kompany’s men seemingly cruising towards automatic promotion.
We fancy Burnley to continue their impressive form at both ends of the pitch and add three more points to their tally at Turf Moor.
