Striker Chris Wood and defender Charlie Taylor are set to face their former club when Burnley host Leeds United in the EFL Cup third round on Tuesday.
Wood moved to the Premier League side in August, while Taylor, who has made just one appearance, joined in July.
Midfielder Jeff Hendrick could play after recovering from a thigh injury.
Leeds defender Pontus Jansson has a hamstring injury, though fellow centre-back Liam Cooper is available for the Championship side after a back problem.
Burnley have made a fine start to the league season, winning two and losing just one of their opening five fixtures.
Leeds are top of the Championship table on goal difference after winning five of their first eight matches.
MATCH FACTS
Burnley have met Leeds just once in the League Cup, losing 4-0 at Elland Road in September 1972.
Burnley are without a home victory in the League Cup since September 2013, losing on their past two outings. Before that, the Clarets had won 10 out of 11 at Turf Moor.
Burnley summer signing Wood averaged a goal every two games for former side Leeds, scoring 44 goals in 88 matches.
Leeds reached the quarter-finals last season, the first time they had been past the third round since 2012-13.
Leeds have won only two of their past 12 League Cup ties against Premier League sides, losing the past five on the road.
0 - 1 Leeds.

Is there extra time and pens if required ?
Hall Of Fame
Yes there is, I predict 2-1 to Leeds
I also predict we will use as many players outside of what has been classed as our regular 11 as possible meaning wiedwald ayling Anita jansson Cooper Phillips O'Kane alioski Hernandez saiz and lasogga are likely to be benched or rested if at all possible
That leaves a likely 18 if they're all fit enough of lonergan Farrell berardi Jackson shaughnessy Pennington Vieira klich Dallas roofe sacko cibicki grot and any 5 from the regular 11, our squad does feel slightly depleted due to injuries, let's hope tc gets a fully fit squad sometime soon
Hall Of Fame
As far as I'm aware, our only 2 unavailable players are jansson and ekuban, everyone else can at least be benched

Just a heads up for any real ale drinkers coming over. 2 mins from the train station (manchester rd station) there is a pub called the Ministry of ale. No frills ,great beer,and the landlord is a Leeds fan.

Hope we win but ain't too fussed if we don't.
League is far far more important.

We have quite a few options now so it's pretty difficult to name a side for a game like this.
However I'll go......
