Bradford City vs BurnleyPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

This is an EFL Cup tie between Bradford City and Burnley, two sides with no previous meetings on record. Bradford come into it in strong form, four wins and a draw in their last five games: the most recent a 1-0 away win at Sheffield Wednesday, preceded by wins over Peterborough (2-0), Rochdale (2-0) and Preston (3-2), plus a 2-2 draw away at Salford City. Burnley, by contrast, have not won any of their last five: three draws, 2-2 with West Ham, 1-1 with Notts County and 2-2 with Espanyol, and two defeats, 0-1 against Torino and 1-2 away at Ajax. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
