This Week’s Opposition: Burnley

Portsmouth travel to Turf Moor this Saturday to face an underperforming Burnley side following their week off. The Clarets recently appointed 50-year-old Fabio Celestini as their new manager after sacking Nicky Hayen, who departed after a 4-1 loss to Lincoln City. Burnley currently sit 22nd in the relegation zone, three points from safety, having won only one of their 12 Championship fixtures.

Burnley's key threats include Leeds United loanee Largie Ramazani, who has netted twice in nine matches, while striker Jamie Vardy remains 50/50 with an ankle injury. The Clarets are on the longest winless home run in English professional football league history, having gone more than a year without a victory on home soil.
