Clarets back in league action with Wales trip

Burnley return to Sky Bet Championship football on Tuesday night, as Scott Parker's men travel to Wales to take on Cardiff City.

The Clarets head to Cardiff on a 21 match unbeaten run in the Championship and Burnley will be looking to bounce back from Saturday's defeat in the Emirates FA Cup.

Parker's side currently sit 3rd in the league table and a victory against the Bluebirds on Tuesday would close the current five point gap to just two behind 2nd placed Sheffield United.

City find themselves 20th in the Championship, five points above the relegation zone but the hosts have not lost at home since before Christmas.

The opposition

Following relegation from the Premier League in 2019, this season is the Bluebirds’ sixth consecutive campaign in the Championship.

In that six-year period City have had nine managers, with current boss Omer Riza the second one this season, following Erol Bulut's dismissal in September.

Former Turkey international Bulut guided the Welsh side to a 12th place finish in his first year at the Cardiff City Stadium last season, after a disappointing two campaigns before that, where Cardiff were close to dropping to League One with 18th and 21st place finishes respectively.

Following a difficult start to the current season, Bulut was relieved of his duties in September before first team coach Riza took temporary charge and was eventually appointed full-time in December until the end of the campaign.

Although the Bluebirds are still looking over their shoulder being five points above the drop, City are unbeaten at home since Saturday 21st December.
