Team News

Burnley
Preston
  • Scott Parker could opt for an unchanged starting XI this weekend after watching his men win in midweek.
  • Joe Worrall and Zian Flemming both remain doubtful for the home side after missing the game against Plymouth on Tuesday night.
  • Paul Heckingbottom's only likely change here will be an enforced one with Brad Potts replacing Kaine Kesler-Hayden at right-back.
  • The defender is the away side's only injury concern after picking up a knock late on in midweek.

Prediction

  • Josh Brownhill's first-half penalty was all that separated Burnley and Plymouth at the full-time whistle on Tuesday night as the Clarets left Turf Moor with all three points.
  • Scott Parker's men have taken 10 points from a possible 12 at home this season, but concerns remain about the style of play and the team's viability as promotion challengers.
  • Under-fire striker Milutin Osmajic found the net twice on Wednesday night as his brace helped Preston to a dominant 3-0 home win against Watford.
  • That victory moved the Lilywhites clear of the relegation zone and ended a four-match winless streak ahead of the trip to Turf Moor.
