In Gary O'Neil's first season in charge, Wolves have largely performed above expectations in sitting 10th in the standings at the present time.
That could have plausibly been better had the likes of Matheus Cunha, Pedro Neto and Hwang Hee-chan all not suffered injuries since the beginning of February.
As a result, Wolves failed to pose a sustained threat in the final at Aston Villa on Saturday night, going down by a 2-0 scoreline in the West Midlands derby.
A three-day turnaround will prove enough for Cunha to return to the squad in some capacity, the likelihood being that the Brazil international will be selected on the substitutes' bench.
Wolves' struggles against BurnleyWolves will also be attempting to record their first league double over Burnley since the 2009-10 campaign courtesy of the 1-0 victory that they were able to post in December.
In the second of those games that season, Wolves would run out 2-1 winners at Turf Moor courtesy of a Matt Jarvis opener and Clarke Carlisle own goal.
Since then, Wolves have failed to prevail in a single contest at Turf Moor, a run that has lasted six matches and just over 14 years.
During that period, Burnley have recorded four wins and two draws, with the Clarets posting 2-1 and 1-0 triumphs during the last two meetings.
The most recent Turf Moor tussle took place in April 2022 as a second-half Matej Vyrda goal proved to be the difference between the sides.
