Preview: Blackburn Rovers v Burnley

Burnley head into Saturday's East Lancashire derby in terrific form, with four wins in their last five fixtures placing the Clarets second in the Championship.

The Clarets have not beaten Lancashire rivals Blackburn Rovers in 35 years and as Burnley push for promotion to the Premier League - what a time it would be to get it...

Five points seperate Sean Dyche’s men from closest rivals Derby going into the weekend, Burnley will be looking to maintain momentum and tighten their grip on second place.

However, opponents Blackburn will be looking to take the wind out of the Clarets sails.
