Burnley vs Sunderland: Premier League preview
Turf Moor will have to become something of a fortress if Burnley want to remain as a Premier League side come May.
Disappointment at Tottenham will have to be quickly put to bed, especially given Sunderland's visit to Lancashire.
Parker's side didn't manage to beat the Black Cats last season in the Championship across their two meetings, with the home clash finishing in a 0-0 draw.
Sunderland have also kept a clean sheet in six of their last eight league games against Burnley, including each of the last three in a row.
Sunderland may opt to remain with the same side that beat West Ham last time out, especially with Dan Ballard notching from the back.
With an attack that looks sharp, Regis Le Bris's side have spent a whopping £142m this summer, as they aim to retain their Premier League status.
Granit Xhaka looks a neat pick-up, whilst Trai Hume was brilliant in his performance against the Hammers.
In terms of injuries, Luke O'Nien, Romaine Mundle and Arthur Masuaku all remained sidelined for Sunderland, with Aji Alese, Dennis Cirkin and Leo Fuhr Hjelde also currently out of action.
Burnley are keeping a close eye on Armando Broja, who didn't feature against Spurs last weekend.
The former Chelsea man has been training individually after a lengthy period without first-team football, and it is hoped his Premier League experience can be crucial this season.

Burnley vs Sunderland: Expected line-ups
FourFourTwo's prediction
Burnley 0-2 Sunderland
The Clarets of yesteryear were built on strong foundations at the back, but Sunderland's attacking recruitment looks to have been done with detailed intricacies, and we can't see anything other than a second win in a row for the Black Cats.
