PREVIEW: Burnley U23s v Blackburn Rovers U23

It’s derby day as the Clarets end their Premier League Cup campaign.

The U23s face Blackburn Rovers at Curzon Ashton this afternoon (Thursday KO 2pm).

The Clarets can’t qualify from Group G with third place already guaranteed.

Rovers have topped the group and were due to play Wolves in their last-16 tie on Monday night before the weather intervened.

But the Premier League have said the derby fixture – twice postponed due to waterlogged pitches – must go ahead with the Clarets looking to sign off with their second win in the competition.
