Burnley boss Owen Coyle has pledged to make changes for Tuesday night's Carling Cup second round clash with Hartlepool at Victoria Park.

Last season's semi-finalists will include Chris Eagles and Steve Thompson amongst others, while keeper Brian Jensen could also stand down.

The Clarets are coming into the game on the back of successive Premier League wins over Manchester United and Everton but skipper Steven Caldwell (groin) is again ruled out.

Ritchie Jones is pushing for a starting spot as Hartlepool look to continue their Carling Cup giantkilling heroics in their second round clash with Premier League new-boys Burnley.

Jones was a second-half substitute in Saturday's 1-0 win at Gillingham after recovering from a groin problem and showed no ill-effects.

Director of sport Chris Turner named a full-strength line-up in the first round and was rewarded with a 1-0 extra-time victory at Coventry, and he will be targeting another notable scalp.

Pools knocked West Brom out of the competition at the same stage last season, while Stoke were beaten 2-0 at Victoria Park in the FA Cup, so the League One side will not be short of confidence.

James Brown could be rested after starting two games last week, but Turner has no fresh injury or suspension concerns.

Teams:

Burnley (from): Jensen, Eckersley, Edgar, Bikey, Carlisle, Alexander, Mears, Jordan, Kalvenes, Eagles, Blake, McCann, McDonald, Gudjonsson, Easton, Thompson, Rodriguez, Paterson, Elliott, Fletcher, Penny.
