Port Vale take on youth team tomorrow

Curtis Woods - scored in the game at Port Vale

After starting the league season with three defeats, Port Vale provided us with our first win when we travelled to Staffordshire in September and beat them 4-1, Dom Knowles scored twice that day with the other two coming from Curtis Woods and James Taylor.

We were joint bottom at the time but the current run of seven wins and one draw from the last eight games has lifted us up the table and we go into tomorrow's game in sixth place in the league. Port Vale are down in fifteenth place.

Last week's 9-1 win saw us give our goal difference a real boost and we've now scored 39 goals in 16 league games. A win tomorrow won't see us go any higher in the table but could certainly see us get closer to the three teams directly above us - Stockport, Walsall and Rochdale.

Burnley's team tomorrow is: Danny McDonald, Dean Overson, Jake McEneaney, Curtis Woods, Neil Yadolahi, Dave Lynch, Ross Wilson, Joe McKee, Joe Jackson, Dom Knowles, James Taylor. Subs: J Thewliss, Tom Anderson, Tom Taylor, Mullin.
