Clarets duo return

Charlie Austin and Marvin Bartley return to the Burnley squad for the trip to rock-bottom Preston. The January signings were cup-tied for Monday's 5-1 FA Cup fifth-round thumping against West Ham at Upton Park but will come back into contention to face the Lilywhites. Striker Martin Paterson could be out for the rest of the season with a thigh injury and midfielder Chris McCann also remains sidelined. Despite the disappointment of exiting the FA Cup, boss Eddie Howe is confident his men can quickly refocus their sights on the battle for promotion. He said: "We've had a good little run in the FA Cup and now our focus has to turn to the league."
