Derby Preview
By: Matt | April 3rd, 2009Tomorrow brings Cup Final 6 against Derby County at Pride Park. The Clarets are looking to get a win on the road after the 2 week international break and as the season is coming to an end.
Steven Thompson is defiantly out with the ankle ligament injury that occurred against the 5-0 thrashing of Nottingham Forest.
Rhys Williams is doubtful with a calf problem, but he has played a Wales U21 match since so not a big worry. Graham Alexander and Martin Paterson are also doubtful with hamstring problems. Paterson had been withdrawn from Northen Ireland squad and has had no training so he is almost defiantly out.
So, with Ade gone, Super Jay Rodriguez may get a first team start and show Owen Coyle what he can really do.

Derby lie in 17th, whilst the Clarets are in 4th. Derby score first. Then Clarets score.
Derby Form
H Barnsley 0-0 | 2-1 Plymouth A Burnley win
A Sheff Utd 2-4 | 1-1 Ipswich A Burnley win
A Southampton 1-1 | 5-0 Nott Forest H Burnley win
H Bristol City 2-1 | 4-2 C. Palace H Burnley win
H Swansea 2-2 | 1-0 Blackpool A Burnley win
On recent form Burnley have won 4 of their last 5 games and 1 draw.
Derby form is not as good with 1 win in their last 5, 3 draws and a loss.
Also the last time we played Derby was a 3-0 win at home back in November.
And as a new regular part of my post, I have got my mate Reuben, who normally gets the predictions right to do predictions for all of the Burnley games.
Reuben Prediction – 3-1 to the Clarets.
My Prediction – 2-1 win for the Clarets.
Good luck lads.
