Team News: Sam Vokes leads line for Burnley

Vokes leads line for Burnley

Sam Vokes will lead the line for Burnley this afternoon as they welcome Bournemouth to Turf Moor.

The Clarets are also boosted by the return of Tom Heaton between the sticks after two games out with a calf injury as manager Sean Dyche makes four changes to the side that suffered a 2-0 defeat to Stoke City last time out.

Dyche switches to a 4-5-1 lineup, with Andre Gray and Ashley Barnes dropping down to the bench and Steven Defour coming into the midfield.

Matthew Lowton earns a recall to the back four, with Liverpool loanee Jon Flanagan making way.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe makes three alterations to the side that claimed a remarkable 4-3 win over Liverpool last weekend.

Callum Wilson is joined by Benik Afobe up front in a 4-4-2 formation, with Ryan Fraser, who came off the bench to score against the Reds, coming into the midfield as Jack Wilshere and Joshua King drop to the bench and Junior Stanislas misses out with an ankle problem.

Charlie Daniels has overcome a hip injury and comes in at left-back, allowing Nathan Ake to move further up the field.

Burnley: Heaton; Lowton, Keane, Mee, Ward; Arfield, Defour, Hendrick, Marney, Boyd; Vokes Subs: Flanagan, Kightly, Gray, Bamford, Robinson, Tarkowski, Barnes

Bournemouth: Boruc; Smith, Francis, Cook, Daniels; Fraser, Arter, Gosling, Ake; Afobe, Wilson Subs: Federici, Mings, Smith, Wilshere, Pugh, Ibe, King
