Burnley have a chance to move back towards the playoff places when they face Middlesbrough at Turf Moor in the Championship on Tuesday evening.

A recent dip in form has seen the hosts drop to 10th in the table, with two losses and a draw in their last three games.

The Clarets are likely to be without striker Sam Vokes, who sustained a foot injury during a friendly with Stoke City earlier this week.

Middlesbrough currently have the poorest form in the Championship, having lost five of their last six games.

There are no fresh injury concerns for Tony Mowbray following their 4-1 loss to Crystal Palace yesterday.

The visitors will be hoping to have Jonathan Woodgate back from a calf injury, while Curtis Main will be available again after serving a suspension.
