    Preston manager Paul Heckingbottom told BBC Radio Lancashire he was pleased with the 2-1 victory over Leicester that keeps his side unbeaten this campaign.

    "I thought it was very good. I thought we should have been more in front than one when they equalised but I don't want us to settle, so if we are brave and we go for it and they get the second then we lose a point, but if we are brave and go for it and we get it then we gain two.

    "It's those nudges and shifts in mentality. We've come away with the points and that's the big difference. We had to be good without the ball and we were with one blip being the goal.

    "All their shots were from 20 yards. With the ball we were really positive. We had to make sure we kept the right mentality. We were really slick and clinical and I'm really pleased."

  4. Sutton's predictions: Tottenham v Burnleypublished at 11:03 BST 16 August

    Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy says he is not expecting Thomas Frank to win the Premier League in his first season, which is nice of him, but I wonder exactly when he is expecting it to happen then?

    I'm a fan of Frank, who is so versatile with his formations and, despite whoever else Spurs sign this summer, they already have some very good players.

    They will be pushing for fifth place, but I'm afraid I don't see anything but a relegation struggle for Burnley.

    I have a lot of respect for Clarets boss Scott Parker and what he achieved winning promotion last season. Their record of 30 clean sheets in 46 league games was just phenomenal.

    They are in with the big boys again now though and, while it is one thing keeping the likes of Plymouth and Oxford out, doing the same at this level is a completely different proposition.

    This is a gimme for Spurs - the perfect fixture for them to get over the way they lost the Super Cup in midweek and for Frank to get off the mark.
