Tough game ahead for youth team

Michael King - back in the side after injury

The young Clarets got back to winning ways last week after the disappointment of the previous week's 3-0 home defeat against Port Vale, the teams only league reverse since the second Saturday in October.

We are boosted this week by the return of winger Michael King. He's been out through injury but came back last week via a substitute appearance in the big win against Wrexham. For today's game he is named in the starting eleven. Liam Newman, in such good form in his last outing three weeks ago, remains sidelined with injury.

The game kicks off at 11:00 a.m. at the Clarets' training ground at Gawthorpe.

The team is: Danny McDonald, Curtis Woods, Jake McEneaney, Neil Yadolahi, Tom Anderson, Dave Lynch, Tommy Taylor, Joe McKee, Joe Jackson, Dom Knowles, Michael King. Subs: J Thewlis, Dean Overson, Stephen Edwards, James Taylor, Ross Wilson.
