If the Clarets were to win, that would stretch the lead to five points and equal the club’s best ever league start to a season, dating back to 116 years. However, QPR remain the only unbeaten team in the country, and have conceded the fewest goals in the league so far, letting in just four. Last ten matches: Burnley: WLWDWWWWWW QPR: DWWWWDWWWD QPR Star Man: Charlie Austin Charlie needs no introduction to Burnley fans. He joined them from Swindon Town in 2011 and went on to score 45 goals in 90 appearances for the Clarets. Charlie’s impressive form almost earned him a move to premier league Hull in the summer, but after failing a medial he went onto join QPR on the eve of the campaign.

Team News Burnley boss Sean Dyche has no fresh injury or suspension concerns aheadof Saturday's Sky Bet Championship clash with QPR at Turf Moor. The high-flying Clarets have won their last six league matches and will be hoping their superb run continues against second-placed QPR. Long-term absentee Ross Wallace remains sidelined with the knee injury that has kept him out since the middle of August. Full-back Kieran Trippier recovered from a knock in time to start in the 1-0 victory over Ipswich last time out and he is expected to keep his place in the side. Andy Johnson, meanwhile, could return to the QPR squad. Johnson has been out for a month due to a hamstring injury but proved his fitness with a run-out for the reserves in midweek. But fellow striker Bobby Zamora remains sidelined by a knee problem along with centre-half Nedum Onouha, who has a hamstring injury. United States defender Oguchi Onyewu could be added to the bench after joining Rangers as a free agent earlier this week.

Seriously......ahem.......I agree with Soops that Harold will start with the same side as last week, which is not a bad thing especially if they play with 4 in the middle we could out number and out manouver them.....
Bit sad that the only players to have played in the last fixture and may play today are Hill and Faurlin. Such a high turnover of players!!
XI: Green; Simpson, Dunne, Hill, Assou-Ekotto, O’Neil, Barton Henry, Hoilett, Kranjcar, Austin Subs: Murphy; Traore, Onyewu, Faurlin, Jenas, Chevanton, Phillips,
Right - I'm in the middle of nowhere about to watch a colts rugby match, this will be my main source of info for the game as viewed on a crappy blackberry. Those of you watching a stream, frequent detailed updates would be deeply appreciated.
It's even more of a surprise when he is fit. What a ridiculous signing he was and let's not forget Zamora. How the Fulham fans enjoy that piece of madness.
Its not like its a surprise either, the history goes back many years like Dyer. Its just a matter of time.
Well that obviously somehow gave little Huddersfield an unfair advantage as no one should be able to beat "massive" leeds.
