The Hull manager, Phil Brown, takes his side to Turf Moor under intense pressure, following chairman Paul Duffen’s resignation. If he is to save his job then his side will have to reverse a terrible run of results that has left them a point adrift of safety. Despite a 3-1 home defeat to Wigan last week, Burnley have made an encouraging start to the season, recording wins over Manchester United and Everton. Their manager, Owen Coyle, has expressed support for Brown but will still be hoping for a win that could consign his former captain to unemployment. Chris Bell
