Tony Philliskirk’s side take on Watford today (Saturday) in the U18 Professional Development League and the youth team boss is expecting a tough encounter against the league leaders.
The Clarets have won their last two games, against Cardiff City and Crystal Palace and Philliskirk is hoping for a hat-trick of wins, as they face the Hornets this afternoon.
But the U18s head coach knows his side are in for a tough test, Philliskirk said: “I’m expecting a tough game against Watford, they have won three out of their four matches, so they are a strong side.
