Burnley v Cardiff City: Is the game on TV? Kick-off time, head-to-head stats and team news

Burnley's Scott Parker era got off to a flying start as the Clarets thumped four past Luton Town on the opening weekend of the new Championship season last weekend, and they will look to build upon that against Cardiff City on Saturday.

Goals from Josh Brownhill, Wilson Odobert, Dara O'Shea and Vitinho ensured a perfect start to the 2024/25 campaign for the second-tier new boys, who will now look to make it two wins from two against the Bluebirds.

Cardiff were beaten 2-0 by Sunderland in their curtain-raiser, but did bounce back with a 2-0 triumph of their own at home to Bristol Rovers in the EFL Cup in midweek.

Sander Berge, who has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United this summer, missed out against Luton Town last weekend, and his participation on Saturday appears in question too.

Winger Luca Koleosho is also rated as doubtful after limping out of the action at Kenilworth Road last time out, although it's believed his injury isn't as serious as first feared.
