Preston North End v Burnley - Sky Bet Championship
Burnley will host Bristol City on Saturday - Sky Bet Championship

Burnley will host Bristol City at Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon in another round of EFL Championship football.

The Clarets have had a largely solid campaign but have sometimes faltered. They were held to a 1-1 draw by Preston North End in their last game, with Taylor Harwood-Bellis' maiden goal for the club canceled out minutes later by their opponents.

Burnley sit fifth in the league table with 14 points from nine games and will be looking to add to that tally come Saturday.

Bristol City have bounced back commendably from their poor start to the season. They were, however, beaten 3-2 by Norwich City in their game earlier this week, finding themselves playing catch-up for the entirety of the match.

The visitors have also picked up 14 points from nine games this season and sit seventh in the Championship standings. They can leapfrog their weekend opponents with a win on Saturday and will be looking to do just that.
