Preston North End will host Burnley at Ewood Park on Tuesday afternoon in another round of Championship football.
The home side have had mixed results this season. However, they suffered their first league defeat of the season last time out as they were beaten 1-0 on home turf by struggling Birmingham City.
Preston North End sit 10th in the Championship standings with 11 points from eight games and will be looking to add to that streak on Tuesday.
Burnley have not had the smoothest return to the second tier but have been largely solid. They were held to a 1-1 draw by West Bromwich Albion in their last game and had looked set to come away with all three points after Jay Rodriguez's first-half penalty but were pegged back by their opponents at the death.
The Clarets sit fifth in the league table with 13 points from eight games. They are just four points behind league leaders Sheffield United and will hope they can reduce that gap this week.
