Eagles to fly to Clarets` aid
Burnley boss Brian Laws could be boosted by the return of winger Chris Eagles for the trip to high-flying Cardiff.
Eagles has missed the Clarets' last two games with a back problem but looks set to return against the Bluebirds.
Striker Martin Paterson is rated doubtful with a Boxing Day return at Barnsley looking more likely as he bids to shake off a troublesome thigh problem which has kept him out for four games.
Left-back Danny Fox is working his way back to fitness after an ankle injury which has also kept him out for four games.
Yet Brian Easton has proved a capable deputy in Fox`s absence and Laws said: "There is a real contest unfolding in that position."
