The Anorak: Clarets at tasty 4-5 look like Lancashire hotpot

Burnley are the banker bet at 4-5 with Bet365 to win today's tea-time derby against old foes Preston North End.

Brian laws has made some decent adjustments to the club that were brutally exposed in the Premier League last year, and they are particularly strong at Turf Moor, where they have won two from two this season.

With Chris Iwelumo expected to be fit, after having to pull out of international duty with Scotland to recover from a knock, Burnley can keep their 100 per cent record against their near neighbours from Deepdale, who find themselves in the bottom four mainly due to their inability to compete on their travels. In two games, Darren Ferguson's side have conceded five without reply, and more beckon today.

Bolton may successfully park the bus at Arsenal today and the draw at 5-1 looks worth an interest.
