The Under-23s start their home league programme this afternoon (Monday) when they face Coventry City at Turf Moor (KO 2pm).
Steve Stone’s side picked up a point from a 1-1 draw in their opening Professional Development League fixture against Millwall at The Den.
And the Clarets are likely to be helped in their quest for a first win by Danny Drinkwater.
The loan signing from Chelsea is building up his match fitness and is expected to figure as an over-age player in midfield against the Sky Blues to lend some added experience to Stone’s line-up as they play the first of back-to-back home games at Turf Moor.
