Sean Dyche will make changes to his Burnley side but there is no danger that he will pitch in youth against National League leaders Lincoln. For one thing, Dyche has a small, experienced squad with few untried players on the fringes; for another, Lincoln have already shown perfectly well in defeating Ipswich and Brighton that they can capitalise when opponents take their eyes off the ball. The smart money is on Burnley’s iron mentality being immune to such slip-ups, although the highly competent Lincoln manager Danny Cowley has the sharpness to exploit any slackness that does seep into the home side.
