Youth team in action this afternoon

Ed Williams - scored in last week's win against Accrington

Burnley go into the game on the back of the 7-0 victory over Accrington in the opening game last Saturday but our opponents Blackpool have also made a good start to the season and are one of three teams at the top with six points from two games.

They had a difficult season in 2009/10 and this season were given fixtures against last season's top two to start, but have beaten both of them at home at their Squires Gate training ground.

They opened up with a 5-2 win against Rochdale and last week won the West Lancs derby against Preston 2-0.

It should prove to be a tough game for the young Clarets this afternoon who are looking to establish themselves as one of the top teams this season in the Youth Alliance League.

The game gets underway at Gawthorpe at 2:00 p.m.
