U21S PREVIEW: NOTTINGHAM FOREST V BURNLEY

Young Clarets head to Loughborough

Burnley U21s

Burnley U21s will be looking to build on a victory over Fleetwood Town earlier this week when they take on Nottingham Forest under the Monday night lights.

The young Clarets beat the Cods 2-1 in the Premier League Cup, with Zach Johnson opening the scoring at Highbury Stadium.

After being pegged back early in the second half, it was substitute striker Destiny Okonkwo who netted from close range to earn all three Group E points having been found by Corey King.

Andy Farrell and Charlie Adam’s side have played two Premier League 2 matches to date and are yet to earn a point, so will be keen to get themselves on the board here.

Nottingham Forest U21s

Nottingham Forest have experienced a mixed start to their campaign, winning two of their five matches in all competitions.

Their latest outing came at Scunthorpe United in the National League Cup, where the Reds were beaten 2-1 by their senior opposition.

Prior to that, though, they produced a 2-1 league victory at home to Manchester City thanks to goals from Kristian Clarke and Jimmy Sinclair.

Manager Dylan Malicheff took the reins after joining the club from RSC Anderlecht in the summer, where he was in charge of their U18s.
