Burnley vs Cardiff City – Carabao Cup Third Round Preview

Burnley will be hoping for a break from their Premier League struggles when they take on League One side Cardiff City at Turf Moor in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night.

Scott Parker’s men have had a tough start to life back in the top flight, but they carry a huge boost into this tie: a nine-game winning streak at home against Cardiff. That record gives them every reason to be confident of progression.

For Cardiff, the trip north is a chance to bounce back after their impressive 10-game unbeaten run was halted by a weekend defeat. Brian Barry-Murphy’s side have been strong in League One and will see this as a real opportunity to test themselves against Premier League opposition.

⏰ Kick-off: 7:45pm BST
🏟 Venue: Turf Moor, Burnley
🔙 Last Meeting: Cardiff 1-2 Burnley (Championship, March 4, 2025)
