The Under-23s take on Watford at Curzon Ashton this afternoon (Monday) looking to bounce back and re-claim a play-off spot in the Professional Development League.
The Clarets saw their eight-match unbeaten run in league and cup competitions come to an end at Ipswich a week ago when they took a young side to East Anglia.
Steve Stone is likely to bring back a couple of his more established players against Watford when a point would take Burnley back above Birmingham City into second place in the league’s northern group before the Blues play again next weekend.
