Barton's deflected free-kick incorrect-footed North stop keeper Chris Kirkland
to provide Burnley an early lead.Andre
gray and George Boyd almost added a second aim after the ruin however both hit
the woodwork in short succession.
Jermaine
Beckford nodded Preston 's exceptional danger
over because the Clarets, subsidized by using five,630 enthusiasts, made it 21
video games unbeaten.
Burnley
have now not lost within the Championship due to the fact a three-zero defeat
at Hull on Boxing Day, but the excellent shape of Middlesbrough and Brighton
has ensured the warfare for merchandising will go to the twine.
However, with second-placed Boro
playing third-placed Brighton at the Riverside on the final day, Sean Dyche's
side will go up with two more wins.
The Clarets, relegated from the
Premier League last season, host Queens Park Rangers on 2 May, followed by a
trip to Charlton five days later.
And the signs they will make an
immediate return to the top flight look good as they head into the matches on
the back of their longest unbeaten run since November 1972.
Defeat for Preston , who were in with an outside
chance of a play-off place at the start of April, means Simon Grayson's men are
now winless in five.

play - that's almost an advert for it. I used the word clarity a lot and I
thought that was on show.
"We talk about automaticity
and that's the ability to do it properly all the time.
"We do it in training so when
it's a game we can deliver and we're showing good signs."
"We've got honest lads who
will give everything. When you look at Burnley and their recovery runs, they get
back into their shape.
"It's a learning curve and
something to look at for future seasons."
