PREVIEW: Burnley U23s v Leeds Utd U23s
Steve Stone is challenging his players to bounce back as they bid for another U23 Premier League Cup ‘upset’.
The Clarets face Leeds United in the quarter-finals of the competition behind closed doors at the Barnfield Training Ground on Friday (KO 2.30pm).
And Stone is looking for a positive reaction to Monday’s 3-2 league defeat at Bristol City which severely dented Burnley’s play-off hopes.
“The good thing when you lose like that is normally it’s a wake-up call,” said the U23s’ boss.
“When you’ve been on such a good run it always come to an end with a bump.
“It never comes to an end with an unlucky 1-0. It normally comes with a bit of a thumping and that’s what that was really.
