Strong service doesn't pay off
Ward-Prowse had nine crosses (five accurate) and eight corners in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Brighton.
Analysis: The midfielder tried to create something for his team and racked up a big stat line but it wasn't enough as he couldn't find a teammate on the other side of the ball. Ward-Prowse is likely going to put up similar numbers against Nottingham Forest, though this matchup is more favorable for Burnley as a whole to try to make good on his strong service.
Whips in 10 crosses
Ward-Prowse recorded 10 crosses (three accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus AFC Bournemouth.
Analysis: Ward-Prowse led the Burnley attack Saturday with 10 crosses (three accurate) but could not break the Bournemouth backline in a 0-0 draw. In addition to his service from the flanks, the veteran midfielder contributed two tackles (two won), one interception, three clearances and three blocks to the clean sheet effort across his 90-minute shift. The appearance marks the first time Ward-Prowse has played the full 90 minutes since September of 2025.
