GLEN LITTLE: Carried the attack to Preston when the chance arose but lacked an end product too often on this occasion ... 6 PAUL COOK: Again Burnley's most creative player, and not afraid to put a foot in ... 7

GORDON ARMSTRONG: There whenever he was needed to break up a Preston attack or just tidy it up for his side ... 8

SUBS

JOHN MULLIN: Played the last 18 minutes in place of Glen Little and showed some of his best touches yet from an injury-ravaged start to the season.

TOM COWAN: Replaced Paul Smith late on and was in the thick of the action from the off.

LENNY JOHNROSE: Also figured for the last 12 minutes and did a useful job in midfield.
