McNeil Looks To Cap Big Week

England new boy Dwight McNeil hopes to hit the goal trail again against Leicester – with a different outcome.

McNeil scored the second goal of his fledgling Premier League career when he equalised against the Foxes at Turf Moor in March.

A late Wes Morgan strike denied the Clarets any reward but when McNeil struck again against the Wolves in the following fixture, Sean Dyche’s men kicked off a three-game winning run which propelled them to Premier League safety.

“I think that was one of the best times I went through in the season at that point,” said the Clarets’ winger whose rise through the ranks has taken him to England Under-21 recognition.
