SIMPLE_SELECTION While chances are going to be hard to come by for the away side here, Gelhardt is averaging just shy of 2.0 shots per game and we reckon he’ll get at least one on target against Arijanet Muric between the Burnley sticks. As per usual they’re going to have the lion’s share of possession here and goal-scoring threats meaning we should again see them getting at least six corners. In such scintillating form we simply have to back him to add to his tally. Sunderland aren’t in great shape but they are, at least, scoring goals. The Clarets have scored a whopping 74 goals in the Championship this season with 43 of them coming at Turf Moor where they’ve also only conceded 13. With Burnley in such good form we’re likely looking at another 3-0 or 2-1 win here so we’re backing seeing at least three goals.
