    Burnley will aim to pull themselves out of the bottom three again when they visit Lincoln City on Saturday (15:00 BST).

    The Clarets are just one point from safety and have only lost one of their past four matches (W1 D2).

    But the Imps are winless in four (D1 L3) and will be hoping to capitalise on Burnley's injury woes to help build more distance between them and the relegation zone.

    • This is the first league meeting between Lincoln City and Burnley since the 1998-99 third tier campaign, with both matches finishing 1-1 between the pair that season.

    • Burnley are unbeaten in each of their last two league visits to Lincoln City (W1 D1), as many times as in their previous eight trips (W1 D1 L6).

    • Lincoln City are one of three sides in the Championship this season without a home league win (D2 L3), while they could lose three in a row at home in the same league season for the first time since December 2021.

    • Burnley won their last away league game against Watford; the Clarets haven't won successive league matches on the road since April 2025.

    • Burnley have already dropped 15 points from losing positions in the Championship this season – the most of any side in the competition.
