JAMIE Smith is hoping his young Baggies can take another step towards the Premier League Cup knockout stages when they host Burnley at Keys Park on Friday night (ko 7pm).
Albion’s under-23s have beaten Liverpool and lost at Bournemouth in the competition so far, leaving them sat second as we approach Group C’s midway point.
And Jamie has admitted that, following Checkatrade Trophy heartbreak earlier in the month, his team has an added motivation to do well in the PL Cup.
“We see every competition that we enter as important, they’re all matches that you want to win,” he said.
