Andy Farrell is looking to keep the Under-23s firing on all fronts after shuffling his pack for their latest league win.
The young Clarets beat Crewe Alexandra 4-2 to move back within a point of Professional Development League northern group leaders Nottingham Forest and Birmingham City.
Burnley are now unbeaten in 17 games at Under-23 level so far this season ahead of Friday afternoon’s Premier League Cup derby at Blackburn Rovers.
And their fifth league win of the campaign came without regulars Ryan Cooney, Christian N’Guessan, Josh Benson and Rob Harker as Farrell freshened things up with the group cup tie at Ewood Park to be followed by a trip to Hull City next Monday night.
