TEAM NEWS
Wolves could be without forward Raul Jimenez, who sustained a muscle injury on international duty with Mexico.
Portuguese winger Ivan Cavaleiro, who is yet to play this season due to a back problem, is still sidelined.
Burnley defender Stephen Ward has recovered from a foot injury, having been taken off in the second half of Republic of Ireland's Nations League loss to Wales.
Johann Berg Gudmundsson is also available but Ben Gibson remains out.
MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES
@Iandennisbbc: Burnley will hope the international break has been a beneficial one to recharge their batteries, having already played 10 games.
To put that into context, it's a quarter of the games they played during the entire campaign last season, in a matter of weeks.
During the international break, Gareth Southgate highlighted the diminishing numbers of English players getting game time in the Premier League, but Burnley lead the way with a league-high 68% of home-grown players used so far.
Sean Dyche will hope those players can rediscover the form that served them well early last season, with excellent results at places such as Chelsea, Tottenham and Everton, because the Clarets are winless in nine Premier League games.
Wolves will not want the international hiatus to halt momentum from their victory at West Ham, as they seek to end their longest-ever run at Molineux without a top-flight victory.
VIEW FROM THE DUGOUT
Wolves head coach Nuno Espirito Santo: "The international break was in the calendar so we knew it was coming.
"The most important thing is that we established standards in the last game, and we have to maintain those standards.
"Winning is always good and makes things a lot easier when you are trying to establish an identity like we are."
Burnley manager Sean Dyche on a new contract for the injured Steven Defour: "He already signed in the summer. He has two years now. He's staying for another two years until 2020.
"He was injured at the time and we leave players alone when they're injured, so we didn't go out to press and say he's here for another two years."
LAWRO'S PREDICTION
This is the type of game that Burnley did well in last season and they showed then that they are capable of getting a positive result out of it.
Prediction: 0-2

MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
-
Wolves have won both of their previous Premier League meetings with Burnley, under Mick McCarthy in 2009-10.
Burnley are unbeaten in four encounters with Wolves (W2, D2), their longest sequence without defeat since a run of five matches in 1970.
Wolves could go three consecutive home games without winning against Burnley for the first time since 1952.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
-
Wolves are currently on a club-record run of 14 homes games without victory in the top flight (D4, L10).
However, they have only lost two of their 28 home games under Nuno Espirito Santo, winning 18 and drawing eight.
Wolves' victory against West Ham last time out was a first in the top flight since beating QPR in 2012, a run of 18 games.
It was also their first clean sheet in five league matches.
They could draw four consecutive top-flight home fixtures for the first time since 1969.
Burnley
-
Burnley have won only five of their last 25 Premier League matches (D9, L11), with their last victory coming in April.
They could equal the club record of four straight Premier League defeats, set in May 2015 when they were relegated from the Premier League.
The Clarets have never won a Premier League away match against newly-promoted opposition (D6, L4).
Burnley have faced a league-high 30 shots on target this season. In 2017-18 they were ranked 10th overall for shots faced.
They have also conceded nine goals in four matches - as many as they let in during the first nine games in 2017-18.
Their last win away in the top flight in September came in 1974. Since that victory over Liverpool, Burnley have conceded 26 times and scored just twice in seven defeats and two draws.
