Clarets host Lilywhites at Turf Moor in Lancashire derby

Burnley are in action at Turf Moor for the second time this week on Saturday afternoon – 11th February – when Preston North End are the visitors to BB10 (3pm KO).

Vincent Kompany’s side progressed into Round Five of the Emirates FA Cup on Tuesday evening courtesy of a 2-1 win against Ipswich Town in a Fourth Round replay.

Opening the scoring after just 46 seconds, Nathan Tella grabbed the winner against the Tractor Boys in the 94th minute to set up a tie at home against Fleetwood Town in the next round on Wednesday 1st March (7.30pm KO). You can buy tickets for that HERE.

Last time out in the league, Burnley claimed three points with a 3-0 win away at Norwich City, their ninth consecutive maximum points haul.

The Clarets now sit 17 points clear in the automatic promotion places ahead of Saturday’s Lancashire derby against the Lilywhites.

Preston North End

West Lancashire outfit Preston are in their eighth consecutive season as a second-tier side having been promoted up from Sky Bet League One in 2014/15.

Ryan Lowe took the helm at Deepdale in 2021, and the Lilywhites currently sit 11th in the table heading into Saturday’s clash having started the campaign with five goalless draws in their first six league games.

More recently, North End have lost their last two. After a 2-0 defeat to Premier League opposition in Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup came a 2-1 defeat last time out at home against Bristol City.

2-0 down by the break in that one, striker Ched Evans grabbed their goal, netting his seventh in the league this season.

The last time we met

Back in September, the Clarets drew 1-1 at Deepdale in a tale of set-pieces.

Taylor Harwood-Bellis’ header opened the scoring 10 minutes in from a Josh Brownhill corner, but soon after it was cancelled out by Jordan Storey, guiding home Brad Potts’ delivery.

That was a first competitive meeting between the pair since April 2016 when Burnley’s trip across Lancashire brought a memorable 1-0 victory on the road to the Championship title.

The Clarets’ last league win over Saturday’s opponents in home soil came in September 2010 when Chris Iwelumo’s hat-trick and Jay Rodriguez’s late strike earned three points in a pulsating 4-3 victory.
