Burnley v Swansea (15:00 BST)

As impressive as Burnley were in winning the Championship their squad will need strengthening. Failure to do so during their last top-flight campaign was a mistake.
They are miserly in defence and well organised, and if Andre Gray can again fire the goals which propelled Burnley to the title in May I firmly believe they have more than a fighting chance of staying up.
Beating the likes of Swansea will determine their fate. This is the Welsh club's sixth successive Premier League season and seeing them without captain Ashley Williams will be strange.
Now the focus is on the other end of the pitch and it will be fascinating to see how Spanish strikers Borja Baston and Fernando Llorente fare.
