Joe McGlynn doesn’t want to go to Manchester City just to make up the numbers as the Clarets look to keep their FA Youth Cup dream alive.
Burnley head to the Etihad Academy Stadium tonight (Wednesday) for a quarter-final tie which will see them start as underdogs against a City side desperate to go one step further than their recent predecessors.
City have lost in four of the last five finals of a competition they have won twice and the Clarets won for the only time in 1968.
The hosts – coached by ex-City and Burnley striker Gareth Taylor – are also flying high in their league competition, sitting 13 points clear at the top of the U18 Premier League’s northern group with 14 wins from 17 games.
