PREVIEW: Burnley U23s v Colchester Utd U23s

The Under-23s complete their home league programme against Colchester United this afternoon (Monday) in a behind-closed-doors fixture at Barnfield (KO 2pm).

Steve Stone’s side is looking to bounce back from a run of three successive defeats in league and cup after losing 2-1 at Nottingham Forest last Friday afternoon.

Birmingham City’s 3-1 win over Cardiff City on Saturday has taken them three points clear of the Clarets in second place in the Professional Development League’s northern section as they look to follow winners Leeds into the play-offs.

With two games to go, one more win is likely to be enough for the Blues to guarantee second spot.
