Burnley welcome Bournemouth to Turf Moor today by 6:30pm for FA Cup 5th round in a match that could see the winners go to the FA Cup quarter finals.
Burnley come into this match having not had victory in their last three matches in all competitions (L2, D1), but will seek solace in the fact that the two loss have come against Pep Guardiola’s unstoppable City and Thomas Tuchel’s resurgent Chelsea.
But Sean Dyche’s Burnley would still be hopeful of coming out winners of the tie today.

Burnley and Bournemouth have met four times in the FA Cup across three ties, with Burnley progressing from each (1960-61, 1965-66, 2004-05).
Sean Dyche’s men would be very aggressive on this one, as they are looking to reach the FA Cup quarter-final for the first time since the 2002-03 campaign. They’ve been eliminated at the fifth round stage five times since then, most recently in 2016-17 by Lincoln City.
Bournemouth have reached the FA Cup fifth round while outside of the top-flight for the first time since 1988-89, when they were eliminated by Man Utd at this stage after a replay.
But Bournemouth will have faith in Joshua King today. Bournemouth’s Joshua King has been directly involved in five goals in only two FA Cup appearances this season (three goals and two assists), including a goal and an assist in the last round against Crawley. He has the most goals and assists of any player remaining in the competition proper this season.
If there’s any bet to be placed, one who is bold enough is advised to go for a draw, else it is a win for Burnley.
