Preston interim manager Jason Euell says he is "excited" to take charge of the team against Queens Park Rangers on Saturday (15:00 BST) - North End's first match since the exit of boss Paul Heckingbottom.

The club sacked Heckingbottom on Sunday after six defeats in their opening seven Championship games.

"All eyes are on me as the man at the front but I've got no issue with that," Euell, 49, said.

"I've got big shoulders. It's not like I've not lead a team before - yes, it's at a different level, a different stake.

"I'm looking forward to the weekend in a way of putting things right that haven't been good."

However, while the former Jamaica international wants to make his mark, he is also looking to be selective about what he adjusts as Preston bid for their second league win of the campaign.

"From me getting the call on Sunday knowing there is a game on Saturday, yes, you want to change some things but you can't change loads of things in a short space of time," Euell added.

"It's got to be a change for the players, not something I want. Is there something they might need to see different, hear different or do different?"

Burnley boss Nicky Hayen admits Saturday's Championship meeting with Derby County is a "must-win game" but they will have to do it without midfielder Aaron Ramsey.

"Aaron Ramsey is out for six weeks with his hamstring so it's another one on the list but we have to look for solutions. It is a pull on his hamstring," Hayen told BBC Radio Lancashire.

Burnley are bottom of the Championship without a win and have not tasted victory in a league game since beating Crystal Palace in the Premier League in February.

"This is a must-win game, we are waiting a long time and everyone is craving for this win. We just need the spark to change the situation and a win is the best solution for that," said Hayen.

"It's a must win for everyone, the fans, players and management - I understand their (supporters') frustration that they are upset and annoyed, so I accept it but it's not how I am thinking. I want to change this as quick as possible."

The Belgian has also revealed plans are in place for the team to attend an overseas training camp during the upcoming three-week international break.

"It's a perfect break, a mini pre-season for us again - the players will have running programmes and we are looking at organising a training camp abroad to stay 24 hours a day together to learn about each other on and off the pitch and get a really good team," he added.

"We are creating and building a team - we are changing things and this is the belief that everyone still has."
