 Burnley could make changes from the team that beat Liverpool on Saturday

Burnley boss Sean Dyche is expected to make changes for his side's clash with Accrington in the second round of the EFL Cup.

Other than Ashley Barnes, who is back running following a hamstring injury but not yet ready for a first-team return, Dyche has a full squad to choose from.

Full-back Jon Flanagan is available after being unable to face parent club Liverpool at the weekend, while the likes of James Tarkowski, Tendayi Darikwa and Michael Kightly are pushing for their first appearances of the season.

This will be the first meeting between these two sides.

Stanley have never beaten Premier League opposition in any competition (D1 L3). They also lost on penalties following the solitary draw, against Watford in the League Cup in September 2006.

Liverpool, Swansea and Middlesbrough to struggle in EFL Cup, says Charlie Nicholas

Burnley have failed to score in their last three League Cup games. They have never gone four games without a goal in the competition.

Accrington have never progressed past the second round in League Cup history.
