Burnley are back on the road on Tuesday night, as they head to London to take on Queens Park Rangers in the Sky Bet Championship.
The Clarets head into the clash following a goalless draw with Portsmouth, with new Head Coach Fabio Celestini claiming a point and a clean sheet in his first game in charge.
QPR currently sit 9th in the league table, having lost only twice in their previous nine Championship fixtures, with one of those defeats last weekend against Southampton.
The last time the two sides met at Loftus Road was in April 2025, where the Clarets ran out convincing winners in a 5-0 victory.

QPR - Ones to watch
Richard Kone
Striker Richard Kone is in his second campaign at Loftus Road, after joining the Rs from Wycombe Wanderers in the summer of 2025.
The 23-year-old forward bagged 11 goals in his first season with the London side and despite not scoring in his first six appearances of the current campaign, he is now up and running.
Kone bagged a 15 minute hat-trick against Swansea City earlier this month, before scoring a consolation goal in Saturday's defeat to Southampton.
Harvey Vale
Former Chelsea academy youngster Harvey Vale is another player in his second year with QPR, after joining the club in February 2025 in a permanent deal from Stamford Bridge.
Vale made 32 appearances during his first term at Loftus Road, scoring four goals and has been a regular within the starting XI in the current season.
The winger has started 10 of the Rs' opening games, scoring in a 4-1 win over Derby County.
Jimmy Dunne
Ex-Claret Jimmy Dunne is one of the Hoops' longest-serving players, after joining the club back in 2021 from Burnley.
The Republic of Ireland international has played over 215 games for the Rs since making the move to London and is a fan favourite at Loftus Road.
Dunne has started in every league game for QPR this season, scoring three goals and captaining his side to 9th place in the table.
