Preview: Burnley vs. Doncaster Rovers

Sports Mole looks ahead to Tuesday's meeting between Burnley and Doncaster in the Championship.

Burnley can tighten their grip on second place in the Championship table on Tuesday when they entertain Doncaster Rovers at Turf Moor.

The Clarets, who are unbeaten in their last 15 league games, have a 10-point cushion between themselves and third-placed Derby County in the standings.

A win tomorrow night would see Sean Dyche's side take a step closer to sealing automatic promotion to the Premier League.

At the other end of the table, Doncaster are in need of the points as they battle against relegation.

Rovers are currently eight points clear of danger thanks to Saturday's 1-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday, though a defeat tomorrow night could drag them right back into a scrap for survival.

Danny Ings and Kieran Trippier are both unavailable for the hosts through injury while Chris Baird is likely to continue in defence. Doncaster have no new injury problems.
