Coach Mark Yates will play at Rossendale
In a lower division it is, as expected, a young Burnley side who will take to the field against Dale with the only experience coming from coach Mark Yates who will be of great benefit to the youngsters.

Many of those youngsters have had a good week starting with that 1-0 win against Preston in the Youth Alliance League on Saturday which, for many of them, was followed with an opportunity to play against Manchester United.

They equipped themselves very well but now have to get down to winning league points as they look to impress Steve Cotterill enough to win a place in the first team squad.

Today’s team will be selected from:

Michael Hale, Rob Henry, Neal Trotman, Paul Scott, Martin Reilly, Marc Pugh, Joel Pilkington, Mark Yates, Chris McCann, Alex Taylor, Cayne Hanley, Joe Booth, Nicky Platt, Darrell Avery, Adam Jones, Tom Ince, Mark Crossley.

For those going, admission at Dark Lane is £2 adults and £1 concessions.
