Team News: Kieran Trippier returns for Burnley

Trippier returns for Burnley

Burnley manager Sean Dyche has made one change to his starting lineup for this afternoon's match against Middlesbrough.

Kieran Trippier returns after a spell on the sidelines to replace Chris Baird in defence, as the Clarets look to secure their place in the Premier League.

Aitor Karanka has made five changes to his Middlesbrough side, with Emmanuel Ledesma, Daniel Ayala, Jonathan Woodgate, Lee Tomlin and Dean Whitehead all starting at Turf Moor.

Boro have won their last three games, and victory today will see them close in on a playoff place.

Burnley: Heaton, Tripper, Shackell, Duff, Mee, Arfield, Marney, Jones, Kightly, Barnes, Ings Subs: Cisak, Edgar, Wallace, Treacy, Baird, Stanislas, Long

Middlesbrough: Konstantopoulos, Tomlin, Butterfield, Woodgate, Leadbitter, Ledesma, Whitehead, Chalobah, Ayala, Graham, Adomah Subs: Steele, Varga, Williams, Main, Atkinson, Jackson
