Burnley will rotate but no kids for Lincoln City clash

Sean Dyche insists there will be no radical changes to his Burnley line-up for the weekend's FA Cup encounter with non-league Lincoln City.

The Clarets meet the National League side at Turf Moor in the fifth round on Saturday and despite admitting there will be alterations to his XI, Dyche says he will pay full respect to the Imps and only bring in experienced replacements.

"Our changes are different this time around, we're not using kids who have never played or only a handful of times, we're not giving debuts, it's mostly rounded players who are doing well in their careers," he said.

"The thing I've been pleased about is when we do mix the side it still looks like what we're about, there's still an identity to what we do.

"That means every player knows how we operate and that's a really important thing."
