It is the first time Duffy has started a Premier League game since a 3-0 defeat against Man United in June 2020.
Since then, the centre-back had a troubled loan spell in which he struggled for form at Celtic.
For Burnley, meanwhile, Irish underage international Nathan Collins is on the bench after signing for €14 million in the summer.
Of Irish interest elsewhere in the Premier League is Seamus Coleman, who starts for Everton in Rafa Benitez’s first game in charge against Southampton.
