Reserves in action at Deepdale

Last updated : 16 April 2003 By Tony Scholes

Mr. Weary will probably be on referee watch but it is a match the young Clarets could do with picking points up from having dropped back into the bottom two.

Somewhat surprisingly Arthur Gnohere plays having been involved for all but the last few minutes at Portsmouth whilst the three youngsters on the bench from last night all play.

The Burnley team is: James Salisbury, Danny Pitham, Paul Scott, Arthur Gnohere, Andrew Leeson, Joel Pilkington, Mark Rasmussen, Andrew Waine, Damien Hindle, Richard Chaplow, Matt O’Neill. Subs: Michael Hale, Robert Grimes, Marc Pugh, Ryan Townsend, Rhys Carpenter.

Recently the Clarets came up against both Robbie Williams and Griff Jones when they played Barnsley, tonight Preston are able to name Warren Beattie as a substitute.

They, like the Clarets, have gone for inexperience with goalkeeper Andy Longergan the only player with league experience.

They line up: Andy Longergan, David Elebert, Christopher Lyng, Carl Clampitt, Darran Kempson, Michael Brown, John Bailey, Alan McCormack, Mark Jackson, Kelvin Langmead, Paul Carvill. Subs: George Curwin, Fola Onibuje, Ben Kitchen, Paul Forker, Warren Beattie.
