Match preview

Brentford gained a much-needed win at Norwich last weekend, putting some daylight between themselves and the relegation zone, but they look too short to take three points off another of the Premier League's bottom three, Burnley.

Instead, odds of 7-1 about a goalless stalemate look appealing given that two of Brentford's three goals at Carrow Road were penalties and they had scored only once in their previous four matches.

One of those was a dour 0-0 at home to Crystal Palace, in which the teams managed only five shots on target between them, and Burnley's last nine results include goalless draws with Arsenal and Watford, a 1-0 defeat to Liverpool and a 1-0 home win over Tottenham.

The Clarets, beaten to nil by Leicester and Chelsea in their last two matches, won 3-1 at home to Brentford at the end of October but a tight, tense contest is on the cards in the reverse fixture.

Key stat

Five of Burnley's last 20 Premier League matches have ended 0-0.
