Burnley's Lancashire derby with Preston North End in October has been selected for live coverage by Sky television.

The fixture, one of the most eagerly awaited when the full Championship list was released, had scheduled North End to visit Turf Moor on Saturday, October 28 for a traditional 3pm kick off.

However, the Clarets will now host the Lilywhites on the previous evening, Friday, October 27, with a 7.45pm start.

It means Burnley will appear in front of Sky's cameras twice that month, following the announcement that the fixture against Norwich at Carrow Road would be rescheduled for TV to Sunday, October 1.
