Burnley Vs Middlesbrough Preview
Since returning to England’s second tier, Burnley have failed to adapt to their surroundings and have shipped an alarming number of goals. In fact, the Clarets have already conceded nine times this term, an EFL Championship stat not many would have predicted after three games. On Saturday, Nicky Hayen’s side were walloped 4-1 by Norwich at Carrow Road and are yet to win in 2026-27.
As for Middlesbrough, they have entertained a much finer start. Summer signing Will Lankshear has hit the ground running with four goals in three appearances. Two of those strikes came in the 3-1 win over West Brom on MD3 and Boro can boast six points from the nine available.

Burnley Vs Middlesbrough Team News
Josh Laurent will have to sit Wednesday’s fixture out having scored at Norwich before being given his marching orders. Josh Cullen and Lyle Foster are ruled out injured and Zian Flemming left Turf Moor on Deadline Day for Ipswich.
As for Middlesbrough, Jeremy Sarmiento is set to miss out having come off in the first-half against West Brom. That would likely see Maximilian Arfsten come into replace the Ecuadorian and as expected, sharpshooter Will Lankshear will lead the attack.
