Burnley take on Queens Park Rangers at Turf Moor as round 44 of the EFL Championship gets underway on Saturday.
QPR will head into the weekend looking to pick up their first away win of the year and pull clear of the danger zone.
Burnley were involved in a share of the spoils for the second consecutive game as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Rotherham United on Tuesday.
Vincent Kompany’s men have now gone 22 consecutive Championship games without defeat, claiming 16 wins and six draws since November’s 5-2 loss against Sheffield United.
Burnley, who clinched promotion back to the Premier League on April 7, could be crowned champions with a win on Saturday as they hold a 10-point lead at the top of the table.
Elsewhere, Queens Park Rangers were denied their first win in six weeks as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Norwich City on Wednesday.
Gareth Ainsworth’s side are currently on a seven-game winless run, claiming two points from a possible 21 since a 1-0 victory over Watford on March 11.
This poor run of form has seen QPR slip into the relegation dogfight as they currently sit 21st in the league table, one point above 22nd-placed Reading in the danger zone.
