Fully rested .........


Free scoring Burnley should arrive at Kenilworth Road, fully rested and in much better shape than their opponents Luton, who have faced a draining couple of days.

The visitors played on Friday night, which ensured a full 40 hours extra rest over Luton, who had to wait until Sunday to receive their 5-0 drubbing from Ipswich. They suffered the further stress of Sol Davis suffering a stroke on board the team bus and all in all, it was a very traumatic day for Mike Newell's side.

Burnley's weekend could hardly have gone better, they ended Preston's 11 match unbeaten run with a fine 3-2 win and are within touching distance of the top of the table. They took the points here last season, also in a 3-2 victory and goals could well be on the cards again tonight.

Something will have to give, the hosts being unbeaten at home, as are the visitors on their travels, well I suppose a draw will keep both runs going and that is why my selection is Burnley with a start on the asian line. They look to hold all the advantages here.

5 points Burnley +1/4 ball asian line 1.77.

Back shortly.

Good Luck.
