Burnley relinquished top spot in the Championship with a drab draw against in-form Derby County, following a game short of quality and only featuring three attempts on target.
Despite slipping to second place on goal difference, as a result of Leeds United's victory in Middlesbrough, the Clarets are still masters of their own destiny with five games remaining.
A point gained and another clean sheet were both welcomed by manager Scott Parker, who is seeking the third promotion to the Premier League, having previously guided Fulham and Bournemouth to the promised land.
Still undefeated at home in the league this season, with 11 wins and nine draws so far, his Burnley side now return to their stronghold.
