Burnley’s return to the Premier League has been nothing short of disastrous, with the team managing just four victories throughout the entire campaign.
The Clarets find themselves two points ahead of Wolves going into the final round of games, meaning a draw would be enough to avoid the ignominy of a last-placed finish.
There is, however, a big problem, given that Burnley boast the worst home record in the competition, with just two wins from 18 matches at Turf Moor.
Interim boss Mike Jackson will be without the injured duo of Jordan Beyer and Josh Cullen for Sunday’s game, while Zian Flemming could play his final game for the club after being one of the few shining lights.
The injury situation is a lot worse at Wolves, with the club missing Sam Johnstone, Leon Chiwome, Matt Doherty, and Enso Gonzalez.
Joao Gomes, meanwhile, is expected to play his final game for the club before his proposed move to Atletico Madrid.
Manager Rob Edwards has a big job on his hands to turn the club’s fortunes around next season and get the fanbase back on his side following a turbulent campaign.
One bit of positivity for the Wolves boss is the fact his side has seen a slight upswing in results since the start of 2026.
The club has picked up 16 points from 18 matches from the start of January, which is 13 points more than they could muster in the second half of 2025.
The big task facing Wolves on Sunday is overcoming their dreadful run of results on the road since the start of April, which consists of three away drubbings by an aggregate of 10-0.

Whispers predicts: Burnley 1-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
Both teams are going down to the Championship, and the pride of avoiding a last-placed finish is unlikely to motivate a group of players who are largely seeking departures in the summer window.
Nevertheless, we are backing a draw at Turf Moor, which is currently priced at 5/2.
Both teams to score is available at around the 3/5 mark, and that could be the smart play given the bet has landed in two previous Premier League meetings between these clubs.
If, however, you are looking for even more value, backing the 1-1 draw in the correct score market is available at 13/2. It is worth pointing out that this selection has landed in two of four previous head-to-head meetings at Turf Moor.
> Match result – Draw at 5/2 | Likelihood: Probable
> Both teams to score – Yes at 3/5 | Likelihood: Probable
> Correct score 1-1 at 13/2 | Likelihood: Outsider
