BURNLEY manager Eddie Howe has opted to rest David Edgar for this afternoon's visit of Peterborough United, following the defender's return from international duty.

The Canadian only reported to training on Thursday after their World Cup qualifying double header with Panama.

Michael Duff comes in to partner captain Jason Shackell at centre half, as one of three changes to the side which lost at home to Brighton in the last game.

Martin Paterson returns to the starting line-up following his recovery from a hamstring injury, with Marvin Bartley dropping to the bench. Ross Wallace replaces loan signing Cameron Stewart.

Burnley are hoping to bounce back from a run of three straight Championship defeats.
