Preston – Burnley

Preston host Burnley in what is effectively a battle for survival, with both sides languishing at the bottom of the table. Preston sit 23rd with three points from one win and six defeats, having scored six and conceded 13, while Burnley occupy the final spot on 24th, also on three points but without a win, drawing three and losing four, scoring eight and letting in 16. The home side will be desperate to turn their solitary victory into a momentum‑building run, whereas the visitors will look to finally break their winless streak and climb out of the relegation zone. With goal difference heavily against them, every goal will be crucial in a match that could reshape the lower end of the league table.
