Clarets Latest - Scunthorpe V Burnley from Glanford Park

Last updated : 23 September 2003 By Ben Slater
Clarets - live from Glanford Park
The Clarets were in scintillating form against Bradford City on the weekend and will be hoping to carry that form into this evenings important cup clash with Scunthorpe United. Of course it was this particular cup which brought about the Clarets playing their biggest match of the season - the home cup tie against Manchester United. Not only does it give the Clarets the chance to pit themselves against the glamour of the premier league, but it also injects some cash into the coffers.

We scraped through against a battling Chesterfield, but it must continue now. Obviously, the Clarets will go in as favourites - being two divisions higher than the Lincolnshire side - but when the two sides line up against each other it's all irrelevant.

Thank you for joining me this evening, up the Clarets! Please scroll down for the teams, which will include substitutions, goals and cards.

Match:
Tony Grant misses out injured, replaced by Weller and the Clarets have just 4 subs.
4 Subs also for Scunthorpe with Beagrie making the bench, under an injury cloud.
