Preview

Burnley were punished by Norwich's in-form attacking duo of Andre Brooks and Mo Toure on Saturday afternoon, with both players bagging braces in a dismal 4-1 away defeat at Carrow Road. Only Preston and Stoke have fewer points from the first three league games than the recently relegated side.

Middlesbrough have reacted well after suffering a shock away defeat to Blackburn in gameweek two, securing back-to-back victories against Doncaster and West Brom in two different competitions. The Teessiders have won four of their five competitive matches this season.
