Burnley manager Vincent Kompany could start to rotate out some of his big-name players for this afternoon's match against Sunderland in order to rest their legs for matches next week.
The Clarets might find themselves without defenders Ian Maatsen and Jordan Beyer after they both missed the 1-1 draw against Birmingham City earlier this week and with Jack Cork a game away from suspension, he could be another Kompany looks to sit out for a big game against Norwich next week.
Both Sunderland and Burnley will both have hectic schedules ahead of this year's Qatar World Cup with the Black Cats having five games in the next three weeks while the Clarets have six league games and a Carabao Cup Third Round match against Crawley Town.
