    Record-breaking Burnley will have their defensive prowess tested in a Lancashire derby at Preston North End on Saturday (12:30 GMT).

    The Clarets became the first team in second tier history to keep 10 straight clean sheets when they overcame Hull City 2-0 on Wednesday and have not conceded a league goal in 910 minutes dating back to 21 December.

    Scott Parker's side are third, three points adrift of Sheffield United in the second automatic promotion place while Paul Heckingbottom's Lilywhites lie 15th, though only seven points shy of the play-off places.

    These sides will also lock-horns in the FA Cup fifth round in a fortnight's time.

    • Preston are winless in their past four league games against Burnley (D2 L2); they haven't endured a longer league run without a win against them since March 1979 (8 games).

    • Burnley are unbeaten on each of their past three trips to Preston in the league (W2 D1), after losing six of their prior seven league visits to Deepdale (D1 L6).

    • Preston are unbeaten at Deepdale in their previous eight league games (W3 D5); it's their longest run since November 2019 (11 games).

    • Burnley have kept eight clean sheets in their last nine away league games, including each of their last five (W6 D3); since the rebrand in 2004-05, only Bournemouth in October 2021 (7) and Stoke in December 2020 (6) have enjoyed a longer run of successive away clean sheets in the Championship.

    • Burnley's Zian Flemming has scored five goals in his past six away Championship games, while he's scored six goals in five Championship games against Preston.

    Scott Parker's Burnley beat 2-0 Hull in the Championship, becoming the first side in second tier history to keep 10 league clean sheets in a row

    Burnley manager Scott Parker spoke to BBC Radio Lancashire after their 2-0 Championship victory over Hull City.

    "I thought we were outstanding tonight. I thought first half, we were really dominant, carved Hull open.

    "We moved the ball with real diligence, technical ability and created numerous chances.

    "Really pleasing that we got an early goal. Overall, I think it is well-documented on the defensive side, we are rock solid.

    "We have done that consistently over the course of this season and again tonight. But for large parts of tonight, we were a real dominant team."
