The Clarets are one of the favourites for promotion this season.

Burnley are second in the table and are set to face a struggling Queens Park Rangers team in round twelve of the EFL Championship action at the Turf Moor on Saturday aiming to continue their unbeaten streak.

Burnley have started the season in excellent form gathering 22 points from the starting 11 games of the championship. They are currently languishing in the 2nd position as a result and remain one of the hot favourites to secure promotion back to the Premier League if they continue performing in this way. Under Scott Parker, the team look balanced, strong in the back and good at scoring goals.

Queens Park Rangers on the other hand have started the season in poor form as they find themselves in 23rd position. They are without a win in the previous eight games and have only managed to gather two points in the previous six outings. Time is running out for Marti Cifuentes to change the fortune of the team. Hopefully, they manage to bounce back to winning ways in this game.

Josh Brownhill (⁠Burnley)

Josh Brownhill is one of the instrumental figures in the team who has performed consistently for them over the years. This season has been an impressive one for him after adding goals to his game. What sets him apart from the rest is his ability to dictate the game as well as chip in with goals and assists. Brownhill is one of the long-serving players in the squad who will be playing his seventh season with the club.

Karamoko Dembele (Queens Park Rangers)

Karamoko Dembele who was considered the next big talent has failed to live up to the expectations and now finds himself in the QPR team who have struggled this season. However, his form has been an encouraging one after making a bright start to his tenure scoring one and assisting another three so far. He has looked a threat down the right-hand side constantly taking on defenders using his trickery and pace.
