The numbers suggest that a flurry of goals is unlikely at Turf Moor on Sunday when the side with the Championship’s worst defense host a Swansea City side who don’t often concede.

Burnley kept a sixth clean sheet in their last eight games as they drew 0-0 at West Bromwich Albion on Thursday.

After being relegated from the Premier League last season – when they conceded 78 goals in 38 top-flight games – Burnley have reset under Scott Parker, who took over from Vincent Kompany in the summer.

In 14 league outings so far this campaign, the Clarets have conceded just six goals.

This is the best record in the division, while Swansea have only been broken nine times so far.

Apart from Burnley, only Sheffield United (seven) and West Brom (eight) have conceded on fewer occasions than the Swans in the Championship this season.

Does that make a goalless draw the most likely outcome when Burnley and Swansea go head-to-head?

“Both teams won’t approach the game that way,” Swansea head coach Luke Williams said.

“Hopefully it will be hard to score, but I’m sure both teams will try hard to beat each other.”
